That's really great to hear Andrea! I do also take my own advice and have been exercising myself consistently over the past week or so with my focus being on what I can do today to make me feel healthier or to increase my energy.

When I first started intuitive eating, I gave up my exercise routine along with ditching the diet. I think I needed to do this at the time to really get my head around a new relationship with food. Once the urge to eat more healthily returned naturally, the urge to exercise did as well but this time from a very different angle.

Exercise makes me feel strong, in control and gives me heaps of energy for the rest of the day! It is great to be doing exercise for these reasons instead of my past desperate attempts to burn fat or earn myself a few more calories!

When the focus is on how exercise makes me feel so good rather than calories burned, life is so much better!

Oh I can so relate to this!
Dieting thinking around exercise. I too find myself thinking that I must go on my exercise bike every day, and not only must it be every day but it musn't be less than 10k each time I go on.
I think it's time to turn around how I view exercise.
I do feel so much better when I've had some exercise so I shall start to focus on how I FEEL rather than making exercise feel like a prescription that I need to take in order to make me thinner!!
Thank you for your wise words!!

Andrea,

the amazing thing is that you actually feel better and do not get tired if you exercise regularly.

I had the same phobia as you about training

Thanks for your comments!

I'm going to write a post about my session with David today to update - suffice to know I'm feeling VERY sore at the minute!

Hello!

  • I'm Andrea, and am obsessed with creating fabulous food. After I managed to ditch dieting, the reason Chocolate and Beyond was born, it seemed natural to evolve my site into a foodie blog. More so since I also ditched animal produce to be vegan. Now, I love showing how inventive cruelty-free cooking can be. And sometimes I like to rant, too. I wouldn't be myself otherwise :) x

    PS. This blog LOVES your comments! Especially about the food!
