It's true that what are legal foods for some are not for others. It's just such an individual thing. Some foods are not the best choice for physical reasons, others perhaps more psychological reasons. Intuitive eating can work very well with dietary restrictions, such as diabetes and food intolerances. After all, not hurting my body anymore is one of the reasons I turned to IE and knowing something is going to cause me pain is (usually) a great incentive. I guess I am a bit confused in that quote from melting mama.She asks us to join her in her quest for maintaining or normal body weight - or better. I'm not sure what is better than a normal body weight? Perhaps she means underweight...not sure. Also, what if this ED recovery involves maintaining an 'above normal' weight?
..if you lop of the "or better" it makes sense. Who knows where I was going with that? I don't know what it meant... it certainly doesn't mean underweight.
