A lot of people try to sort out their eating by doing what feels sensible in the moment. They make a plan on a Sunday, buy loads of healthy food, tell themselves this time they are properly doing it, and then by Wednesday they are back to grabbing whatever is easiest because work ran late … Read more
A lot of people try to sort their eating out by focusing on food alone. They make a plan, buy the right stuff, maybe cut out sugar or decide this is the week they finally get organised. For a few days it goes fine. Then work gets busy, they sleep badly, they get stressed, or … Read more
A lot of overeating starts earlier in the day than people think. Not when the biscuits come out at 9:30 pm. Not when you find yourself standing in the kitchen eating toast you did not even really want. It often starts at 8 am, when you decide today is the day you are going to … Read more

A lot of people come to intuitive eating after years of dieting and then feel slightly conned by the whole thing. They stop tracking, stop trying to be “good”, give themselves permission to eat normal food again, and instead of feeling peaceful and free, they feel all over the place. They eat past full.
