I did some mindful eating in one of my counseling classes. It honestly seemed like too much work. It did make sense to me and I could definitely see the benefit.

I am a RD and this is what I educate my clients, or try to I do eat this way, I feel I tend to eat less when I eat when I am truly craving - I eat slow, listen to my body and recognize when I am full. I, too, had disordered eating at one point, so it was difficult to get to this point. I am actually now eating more of a plant based diet, so now my intuitive eating is geared more towards certain foods only.

Reading about the principles, it sounds like my approach towards food even though I think I live this more innately rather than deliberately.

My sister is working on intuitive eating- she is in recovery after ED, and her counsellors teach on this topic a lot. I think it could be a great way to approach eating!

I find this so interesting! I've also struggled with an eating disorder for a long time, so any sort of structured eating plan is generally a bad idea for me. I'm "in recovery", but I guess it is similar to an alcoholic who gets sober in that you're never really cured. This is something that I'll have to look more into.
