I am one those peoples who likes to "trust my gut," but as I have said before, I am not always reliable...and that's something important to remember, right? I trust myself when my intuition says that something is not safe (because I'd rather be wrong than sorry). But I'm immediately thinking of dozens of times when my intuition was way off!

I do think in the beginning of my recovery intuitive eating as a theory was helpful because I did need that very basic rule of "eat when your body is hungry." But now that I've made strides I rely on that theory less and less. We know that we should eat when hungry and don't rely on simply intuition any more, we've also got to rely on the parts of our educated brain that says brownies are good but so is broccoli.

And you've given yet another book! What am I going to do?? lol
