“If hating one‘s body effectively motivated change, do you really think there would be many heavy people in the world?”
“When is the last time you ate a meal made without opening a can, bag, or jar or handing over money at a drive-through window?”
Um… right now. This very minute as I read. 😆
pickI read this six months ago, and I can see myself rereading it every year. This is the anti-diet book. Linda teaches you about finding your set point (weight your body wants to be at) and about intuitive eating where you listen to what your body needs without judging whether the food is “bad”. Eg. You find you don‘t want as much ice cream when you can have it without guilt, but you also listen when your body wants carrots. It‘s a good process. ⬇️

Not your traditional “diet“ book, but the main point was to rethink your thinking about food as what your body needs.
It is interesting, and with all of the US cultural influences around it is hard to rethink like this.
pickWow, just wow! This is NOT a diet book. It is not a lifestyle change book in the usual sense. This is a guide to untangling your relationship with food and the way you think about your body. The main thrust to think about food and eating in terms of your whole body‘s needs. (See ⬇️) Also she talks about society‘s obsession with obesity & weight. Thin may not be your natural weight, and she helps untangle the cultural & health aspects of that. 5⭐️
I‘ve been trying to unf*** my thinking about my body and what is best for it. This book is currently blowing my mind!! 🤯🤯 I think I may have an audiobook day today.
(To give you an idea, I bought this at 7:30 and it‘s 10:30. I can‘t put it down!)
@wanderinglynn I‘m slacking- about posting- I‘m just trying to survive these days - work, school, health- year one of pandemic has had ups and downs but I‘m working on building habits and mindfulness and integrating my Leo energy and chaotic tendencies into a force for good. As in every day is a new day. But mostly recognizing that it‘s all good and bad in various amounts and I only have control over so much. 🧡 and I‘m drinking more water #bfc21
First 10K step day in quite awhile. I listened to a good chunk of this one today. It‘s so hard to change your thinking about weight when so much about our world is tailored for a specific mindset. #litsywalkers #audioread
pickSeriously this book changed my life! I recommend to everyone who struggles with diets
This is the best book. So grateful.
Contemplating some book purchases. If I intend to read them for work, can they be a tax write-off?
