Hi guys,

I am new to intuitive eating so I would like to get some recommendations from experienced members, especially from people who share a similar story with me...

​

I was never a fat person, just wanted to have a perfect gym body, last few years I was obsessed with counting calorie restrictions and food choices, I was switching from a calorie restrictions diet to fasting...In the end, I was doing both fasting and dieting because wanted so badly to shred off the last bit of fat on myself.

​

I started to notice much more than before that my mental health is dangerous with this type of eating. Before I would go through because of a 'higher goal' to have a perfect body. This time I decide I have to change my relationship with food and my lifestyle.

​

In April one guy approached me in the gym and ask 'how are you bro? are you ok, you don't look good. I said to him 'Nah, I am ok'

he replied ' sorry for disturbing you, but you look tired with different eyes colors and no energy, some kind of red flag' i just finished that conversation with ' yes you right I am stressing myself too much with diet'

​

Indeed I felt like a shit those days, but I was preparing myself for the holidays so I wanted to look perfect even if I felt like shit.

​

After that wake-up call in the gym, I wanted to move aside my gym goals, and put my spiritual goals in the first place.

​

Last few years I got myself into yoga and spirituality to work on myself inside deeper than workouts. After reading the 'intuitive eating' book it clicked so well for me because I can see the very deep connection principle of this book with some spiritual about our bodies.

​

Anyway, after 2 months of intuitive eating, I have upside and downs, sometimes still obsessing about weighing myself, but if I compare myself to before I am much more relaxed about food than before.

​

I would like to expand my knowledge in this field about IE eating, so please can you post my links on some good podcasts, books, interviews, etc...
