I’m a freshman in college and have struggled greatly with eating and body image since I was 9. My sister has had a very severe eating disorder for the past 4 years, and all the programs I have had to do with her for “support” have just made me hate food even more. Finally, this last program she tried introduced to our family intuitive eating. While at this point she probably shouldn’t be doing this on her own, I’ve decided to give it a try in an attempt to find peace and focus all this energy spent on food on something productive. I just had a little bit of mocha almond fudge ice cream for breakfast- because when I asked myself, “Ashley, what do you really feel like eating right now?” The answer was that. So I ate some. And it felt wonderful.
Here’s to a new life!

Everyone does this on their own terms, but one thing IE does stress is learning what comfortably satisfied means and how it feels. That’s how we know if we are enjoying food or binging food. That’s the barometer, not the scale.
I hope anyone reading this snappy article takes Intuitive Eating seriously enough to look into it further. To understand the basic theory so they can adapt it to themselves.

I want to first congratulate you on your journey towards true intuitive eating. I myself am working toward that. Having had a past with eating disorders, I want to make a suggestion. I would assume there are many women (and men) like me who are working through an eating disorder. Many of them may come to your blog looking for inspiration. I do see this as an inspiring story. I do however think it would be even more inspiring without you logging your weight and height for everyone to see. It is distracting and takes away from the IE spirit. With that said, keep up the good work!

Awesome article. I can totally relate. I have studied hard to curb this food addiction for years and now I’ve learned about intuitive eating it’s change my life. I’ve done search after search, diet after diet, i just never knew what i really needed or how to get what i needed, this changes the perspective on food. Food is our friend and should be enjoyed, not feared

First of all, I love Swigg’s blog! Anyway, I just started reading intuitive eating and working with a health coach. I have struggled with diet for ten years. During highschool I went from 140 lb to 108 lb and then up to 180 lb junior year. That is just one example of my many fluctuations. After my daughter, I lost all the weight and then 20 lb more. I am now about 10-15 lb over my happy weight (115-117). I am so sick of restricting and dieting and carb cycling and refeeding …ugh. I picked up Intuitive Eating and I exhaled. The funny thing is : when I ask myself what I really want to eat, most of the time I have no idea! I have been eating what I know I should or what I “couldn’t have” for so long ! I’m so glad to not have go through a workout knowing I can’t have carbs for the next 2 days or go to bed knowing breakfast will be the same thing again.

I LOVE this post! I recently (2 weeks ago) decided to stop WW and switch to intuitive eating. I have been really struggling in some ways with the switch. I appreciate the insight! .-= Stephanie´s last blog ..How I Got Here- Part 1 =-.

I tried Intuitive Eating and lost 15 pounds since November 2009. I have just started adding more healthy foods to my diet. I love the way I feel. After I started IE, I decided to pay attention to how I was feeling rather than loosing weight. I feel more balanced now after eating everything under the sun since November. I feel more happier since I no longer count calories and think about everything I put into my mouth. Do what ever makes you happy

If someone is looking to Intuitive Eating as a way to lose weight, they’ll quickly find it doesn’t quite work that way. If you embrace Intuitive Eating as an eating lifestyle, you will probably lose weight. It sounds like you’ve figured that out, but many people still see IE as another “diet.” For people with constant diet attempts, until they reject the diet mentality, nothing will work.
As a registered dietitian and personal trainer, I find that some people lose weight by counting calories and increasing their activity. Many people need to relearn their natural way of eating (watch a 2 year old, she eats what she wants and stops when she’s full!) and find that Intuitive Eating is their salvation.
