Earlier I made a post on Instagram about why I've never really spoken of my ED and what I wanted to change now. So this will be my starting point. I encourage you to read my personal story here if you haven't already done it. Now, I don't want to justify myself but I've never wanted to share this side of me because it's not something I want to support and I don't want to have this kind of influence. To me, counting calories is a bad thing and it's not that I'm really ashamed of it but I want to give you a good example. And counting calories is bad. But I also feel a bit hypocrite doing so as I still count calorie and follow a certain way of eating that is pretty close to a diet. I know I'm not gonna get rid of this as quickly as I wish and I know I will still eat that way for a while before being truly able to embrace an intuitive and mindful eating.
No, what I want to do here (and on IG) is to share with you my journey, give you clues and help toward this achievement. I'm sick to see so many young girl obsessing over their macros, counting and analising every bite they take. You may have a balanced lifestyle, I think this relationship with food is still unhealthy. I want to promote intuitive eating and how to get rid of eating disorders. And though it's not something I am currently able to do, I want to give you the support and the tips you'll need to achieve this.
My main sources are these two books
Intuitive Eating - get it here
The Rules of "Normal" Eating - get it here
And I'm about to order Eating Mindfully by Susan Albers - get it here
This post is a mess, I'm aware of that. But for some reasons, I felt the need to write this here and now so you'll have to deal with it. I'm gonna write more post and hopefully, they're gonna be more precise…
