Intuitive Eating

by Terra Atrill

I just came across this post via a forum referral to the author’s new blog. Looking back through the archives, this woman has made huge strides to recover from an overeating disorder with the main hope of becoming “normal” and “living a normal life, with normal habits.” She’s had huge personal success. And she’s still going, strong. Check out her mission and goals page, too.

The linked post above lists nine rules (aka “markers on the path to normal or intuitive eating.” She plans to expand upon each marker in the future, but her writing is succinct and well-orchestrated, leaving little question of her intention or meaning.

My favourite thing: each post ends with a few (3-5) positives. Here’s a bit from another of her posts:

Yesterday’s objective was to keep choosing to be satisfied, since I was essentially overwhelmed trying to do normal stuff and take care of my daughter as well. Poor thing has mononucleosis, so she’s really suffering right now.

In general, I fulfilled this objective quite well. “I’m satisfied with my satisfaction objective.” LOL

Please consider reading this page, especially if you are looking towards moving out of the eating disorder’s lifestyle, into your own.

About Eating Disorder Talk

The goal of Eating Disorder Talk is to encourage family and friends of people living with disordered eating - as well as sufferers - to learn more about the conditions, where to get help, the risks associated and another vessel of communication. I come with 20 years of experience living with (and sometimes for) anorexia; my job is not to cure, it’s to allow others to speak. This means wanting to help those that want help and to provide a voice to those who don’t.
