This is one of the multitudes of ways that intuitive eating is misinterpreted.

If a food has held energy, it is possible to interact with said food with reduced energy, but that does not mean that it will no longer be enjoyed or a part of your life.

Messaging that suggests that you will “forget about/skip/no longer crave,” a food after you have given yourself permission to eat it, is false.

And is another version of diet culture pandering. You’re allowed to have a peaceful relationship with a food that has not always been peaceful.

The belief that you should no longer desire a food, isn’t real life.

>> if you’ve been made to think that a desired food won’t be desired after you eat it freely, your teacher missed the boat.

>> does this resonate with anyone?
