#126 - 3 Reasons Why Intuitive Eating Might Feel Hard with Abbie Attwood

Can you imagine a world where food choices are driven by joy, not fear? Today I’m joined by non-diet, weight-inclusive dietitian Abbie Attwood to explore the three most common roadblocks to intuitive eating. We dive into the "messy middle," that tricky space where you’ve left behind diet culture but haven’t yet found your sweet spot with your eating habits. These common hiccups include: ➡️ the impact of fear-based nutrition messaging ➡️ the discomfort of navigating a world without food rules and ➡️ managing feedback from those who don’t understand your decision to step away from dieting Perhaps most importantly, we highlight the critical role of self-compassion in moving past these roadblocks. Whether you’re struggling with emotional triggers around food or looking for simple ways to make food decisions, this episode will help you move closer to food freedom and body acceptance.
