For someone who has body image issues or disordered eating, I don't recommend scales. If anything, write down on a piece of paper, listen to your body and then tape it on top of the scale. It really depends on what the app or the group or the scale, what they're aligned with. And the values here are about self care, not having a certain food that you should or shouldn't eat unless it's a loving motive.
Everyone has a view about what you should eat and how much. We're so bombarded with fad diets, fasting plans and nutritional advice that we can bounce from one way of eating to another without stopping to think: "What do I want to eat?"
Psychotherapist Andrea Wachter endured years of disordered eating and obsessing about her weight, until she decided to heed her inner voice and what her body wanted to consume. She explains to Dr Laurie Santos how so-called intuitive eating can free us from both diets and overeating.
