“Weight doesn't give us any information about the functioning of their internal organs, their mental health, their genetics or anything else. Your weight is simply a measure of your gravitational pull.” - Katy Harvey
Welcome to another episode of Rebuilding Trust With Your Body podcast! I'm so thrilled that you're tuning in, because today we're talking about the journey towards intuitive eating, trusting your body, and learning to measure your progress along the way. Most people have one very specific way of measuring their progress when it comes to their eating and their bodies, and yes, you probably guessed it right. People tend to measure their progress by stepping on the scale; if the number goes up, then it is considered as a “failure,” and if the number goes down, then it is considered a “success.”
In this episode, you and I are going to dive deep into 3 ways that we can redefine the meaning of intuitive eating success. Make sure to tune in until the end because I’ll be sharing another free resource that can really help you in this journey. Let’s dive in!
