Why I Ditched Diets for Intuitive Eating

Letting go of the scale was the best thing I did for my health. Instead of obsessing over numbers, I started tuning into my body’s real needs. Here’s what changed everything for me: I stopped labeling foods as "good" or "bad." Now, nothing is off-limits, and cravings lost their power. I pay attention to hunger cues. If I’m hungry, I eat—no more waiting for a “cheat day.” Movement is about feeling good, not burning calories. Walks, dancing, or stretching—whatever brings joy. Self-care matters. Sleep, stress breaks, and saying no are part of my routine. I respect my body, no matter its shape. Body diversity is real, and every body deserves kindness. Intuitive eating isn’t a quick fix, but it’s made food and self-acceptance so much easier. It’s a journey, and every step counts! #IntuitiveEating #BodyPositivity #SelfCare #Health #Wellness

My Surprising Steps to Beat Bulimia

A few years back, I hit rock bottom with bulimia—felt totally stuck and alone. Finding a way out took trial, error, and some real talk with myself. 💡 Get curious about your triggers. For me, stress and body image spirals were huge. Noticing patterns helped me dodge a lot of pitfalls. 📌 Try intuitive eating. Ditching strict diets and tuning into my actual hunger cues (not guilt or shame) was a total game-changer. ✅ Don’t go it alone. Therapy (especially CBT) and a solid support crew made all the difference. Even just talking openly with family helped lighten the load. ⚠️ Keep a journal. Jotting down my moods and meals made it easier to spot what set me off—and what helped me cope. Recovery’s messy, but every small win counts. You’re worth the effort, promise. #EatingDisorderRecovery #MentalHealthMatters #IntuitiveEating #Health #Diet
