In the intuitive eating space, we often hear that weight loss isn’t the goal—and in many ways, that’s true. But there’s a nuance here that’s sometimes overlooked. It’s easy for the message to come across as judgment toward those who do desire intentional weight loss, and that’s not what I believe we should be doing.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Whether or not you can do intuitive eating if you still desire weight loss
- How to hold the desire for weight loss while working on your body image
- What’s underneath the desire for weight loss
- Informed consent around pursuits of intentional weight loss
- Body grief
