I was doing my thing this morning, browsing /r/plussize to hate on more fatties when I ran across this. Nothing too special, just typical fatty plus no comments yet
But that last paragraph caught my attention. "Intuitive Eating"
I had heard the words "intuitive eating" and figured it was just estimating calories instead of strictly recording them. Well I'm great at that! I never bothered looking into it more. But here is a plus size fatty using it….
It turns out to a fatty, "intuitive eating" means eating when you want to eat without restriction…
And of course, a fatty can't just exist alone since then everyone sees them as disgusting. These fatties are reproducing by encouraging others to "intuitively eat."

/u/mental-mention9377 please put down the food and look in the mirror. That shame you are feeling is normal! You don't have to become a ham planet!

The shame takes a lot of active work to get past. My binging stopped quickly but the shame slowly decreases and I have to still fight those feelings periodically.
The first thing to do is just remind yourself that there are no good and bad foods and that your morality is not tied up in what you eat or how much you weigh. Then you have to adapt your self talk to whatever sticks around as you get past the surface thought.
Gluttony is a sin. You are literally self harming by eating. This kind of grooming should be illegal.

I just can't wait for the negative self talk to finally subside!!!! I just want to feel comfortable in my body. But I know it's a process and I will get there eventually. Thank you 😭
How is she going to feel comfortable in her new disgusting body. This is ridiculous

Writing it down in a journal is helping me. I'm only about 2 months into my journey. I'm currently reading the book and have both a therapist and registered dietician who specialize in IE. I'm an emotional eater, so it seems like guilt/ self hatred go along with that. I found that being mindful and present is extremely important in this journey, so one way to achieve that for me is writing things down like observations. For example: 12pm I ate one chocolate chip cookie after my lunch. It felt good in my mouth. The chocolate bits were rich and sweet. I ate 1/2 first and checked in with my body and hunger/fullness scale. I wanted to eat the rest so I did. All in all it was a good cookie. I write things down without judgement, just like an anthropologist (they talk about this in the book). Then at the end of the day, I write down what I could improve. Example: I will try to incorporate more vegetables with every meal and eat when my hunger scale is at around a 3 or 4 (instead of when I'm starving), because I'm more in tune with my fullness scale.
This is one of the fastest comments I ever read. Yesterday I ran 4.5 miles, I worked out an hour and a half later in the gym. I didn't eat any cookies. I had a large calorie deficit and I feel great and I'm going to do the same thing today and every day until my I have kick butt abs again. I'm not even hungry since I've gotten used to it after a whole 48 hours

I took a body image class. It was extremely helpful
They have a class to teach you to be ok being disgusting? I'd like to see the lessons on the proper way to dry fat folds or maybe the one dealing with bad smells.

I can relate! I'm in the beginning stages of trying to heal from decades of diet culture and dieting and disordered relationship with food and my body. I'm in the same place roughly except I've been at this intuitive eating non restrictive thing roughly two months. I know I have gained weight, and I honestly can't stand it. Seems like a double edged sword tbh. I talk to my therapist and nutritionist about it but they just keep telling me not to restrict and convince me that gaining weight is ok and not that big of a deal, but it kind of is if I am uncomfortable in my own skin and end up having to buy new clothes. Personally on my own I feel like I am going to try to limit (not eliminate) sugar (candy, cakes, desserts) and try to focus more on eating more fruit and vegetables, and see if that helps fend off the cravings. I am also going to start small and try to take a small walk everyday.
I've learned to tolerate many things in the last 20 years. I put my foot down at fat acceptance. You are not ever going to convince me to not hate fat and fatties. The internet was a mistake
Everyday I wake up and think I've seen it all. Today I found fat grooming perpetrated by fat women and I'm not happy. I'm going to Walmart and parking all the power chairs in the back of the parking lot
