Client Quote # 68: permission

It is amazing when we realize how smart and compassionate our bodies are. How quickly the body responds to restriction of food by increasing the urges to eat 🤤
How it fights back when we don’t allow ourselves adequate nutrition 🥦🍟 throughout the day 🤔 … almost like the body knows way more about what you need than the ED brain.
Learning to trust your body is work, it’s not easy because we’ve not been trained to honour it. We’ve been told through diet culture to stay hungry 🍽️ to not honour preferences, and this is how we can control our bodies forever.

And your body…well it is too smart to jump on this toxic bandwagon.

If we start to pay attention to what the body is trying to communicate with us about food on a daily basis and honour our needs with permission, we still start to notice a sense of ease around food again 💛
