If you’re in the thick of your healing journey, that advice can feel impossible. Because if you’re eating what you want, when you want—and still struggling—clearly, something’s missing.
Here’s the truth:
There’s a middle phase in healing where you learn to:
• Rebuild trust with your body
• Nourish it consistently
• Break emotional patterns with food
• Listen before your body can clearly speak
It’s uncomfortable. It feels like work.
Because it is work.
But it’s the work that gets you to the point where intuitive eating actually makes sense.
Those people saying “I just eat what I want”?
They’re not magical. They’ve done the work to hear their body’s true needs—and respond with love, not self-sabotage.
If you’re in the messy middle—keep going.
Discomfort isn’t a sign you’re failing.
It’s a sign you’re changing.
