How to eat everything you want to and lose weight. The beginning.

Today I will be extremely honest with you. I want to talk about eating behaviours, eating disorders and how to become free happy person again.

When we hear ‘eating disorder’, we immediately picture thin anorexic girl who eats only salad and drinks water. But most of us do not know that ‘eating disorder’ is also about overeating, about compulsive eating, emotional eating, even about ‘healthy diets’ that are so widely advertised these day.

Since this blog will be extremely honest, I am going to start with personal experience... I tried a lot of diets in my life. You name it - I've tried it! I started when I was 15 years old girl living in Siberia. It was end of 90s, time when American products and American dream started spreading through Russia. That means we got all these glamorous magazines, like Cosmo, where girls were perfect - thin, beautiful, strong, successful. But of course nobody told us about Photoshop… :)

I looked at them and thought - I want to be like them. And I was not like them... I mean, at all… :) But, lucky me, the magazine had recipe how to 'fix me'! So, I started my loooong journey to what is now call ‘Intuitive eating'.

But before I reached destination I have experienced all kind of troubles, physical and mental, simply because diets DO NOT work! Every time new diet made me feel strong, like I am in control! But few days later I was unhappy again. Then I stopped dieting and judged myself for weakness. I felt miserable. Then I would find new diet... You probably know this circle. And the only way out is say NO to diets all together, forever. The best advice I can give you is to start listening yourself and try intuitive eating.

What is eating disorder? What is compulsive and emotional eating? How the hell did I get to the point when food became my enemy? If you ask yourself these questions, then follow me and you might find some answers.
