Back in my calorie counting days, eating on vacation was always the tug-of-war between eating all the ‘unhealthy’ food that I wouldn’t eat at home regularly…and ordering things I thought I should…while wishing I was eating something else.
I’d always come home feeling terrible and needing a total reset with food.
Now, vacation eating actually looks quite similar to home. And takes up very little brain space.
Because if I want pizza or pasta or ice cream at home, I’ll eat it.
But (and this may be totally surprising to you), I don’t want it nearly as much as I used to when it was “off limits.”
Intuitive eating isn’t just eating whatever you want without intention.
To me, it’s eating food thats satisfying and helps me feel my best….while also eating with flexibility and enjoying foods like ice cream without guilt or fear that I’ll never stop.
If you’re trying to eat intuitively and you’re finding yourself only eating the foods you once avoided while dieting…that’s not intuitive eating.
That’s rebellion eating. And it doesn’t lead to feeling in control or trusting yourself around food.
When you learn to truly trust yourself around food, you get to enjoy food on vacation, but it’s no longer the center of everything…and you get to actually fully enjoy vacation for what it is.
If you’re ready for your summer vacation to look more like this, and less like a planned b1nge, I’d love to help you get there.
