Sometimes I feel like I am barely any better off than I was 6 months ago.
I realize that is not 100% true but I sure wish I was more ahead with body acceptance and IE. I wish I was at a mental place where thinking about HAES doesn’t make me a little nuts in the head like thinking about a diet does. I fully support the concept of HAES. I am cool with moving my body and eating well for health vs. to lose weight. But I find that when I start thinking about what it means for me to eat healthy I get in that annoying rebellion phase that I often find myself during a diet. Not nearly as bad but it is there. What’s with that?
I am at some sort of wall. I’m making sure to visit IE and FA blogs regularly each day. That is definitely helping to keep me in a good place in my mind over all. I just want to grasp this HAES bit and run with it. It’s frustrating me that I feel so close but something internal is pushing back at me. It’s a little embarrassing, actually.
