#55 - What If I Still Want To Lose Weight?

Despite the fact that Intuitive Eating is absolutely not a weight loss program, most people come into the practice holding out the hopes that they will lose weight. And that's okay! And because of how common this is, we wanted to dedicate an episode to addressing the nuances of why weight loss and Intuitive Eating don't go together, and why it's important to at some point start to unpack and let go of those weight loss hopes. Within this episode we're talking about: why it's so common to hold out hopes of weight loss when starting an Intuitive Eating practice; why unpacking our desires for weight loss is an integral part of Intuitive Eating work & how not addressing it in our work will hold us back; and some practical ways to address our hopes for weight loss.  Plus, don't miss Naomi's hot take on a popular Intuitive Eating saying about weight!
