Good Life Cuisine

I've been thinking a lot about the nature of this transformation process. My initial experience with moderation thought me about habit change and the importance of practice. I've approached intuitive eating in the same way. And I failed. Well, I don't like this word - I learned how not to do this. Intuitive eating is about healing and gentle transformation from within.

At this moment, I see this process as follows:

• Making a mentality or paradigm shift, saying good bye to dieting and challenging the food police 
• Winning back your body's trust through honouring your hunger, making peace with food and avoiding deprivation
• Learning to take care of yourself without using food
• Making another mental shift in the way you approach change - learning to be gentle to yourself and listen to your body
• Starting to make gentle lifestyle changes in the way you eat and move 

In this process, it's about making changes for good - not a temporary change of behaviour promoted by diet mentality. It means that we have to find the approach that fits our unique situation and body. It means we need to find the ways to make the steps feel good, fun and pleasurable - or they will not stick. This will not happen over night. It requires a lot of searching and patience.
