💖 You're Not Wrong For Desiring Weight Loss

In the intuitive eating space, we often hear that weight loss isn’t the goal—and in many ways, that’s true. But there’s a nuance here that’s sometimes overlooked. It’s easy for the message to come across as judgment toward those who do desire intentional weight loss, and that’s not what I believe we should be doing.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Whether or not you can do intuitive eating if you still desire weight loss
• How to hold the desire for weight loss while working on your body image
• Whats underneath the desire for weight loss
• Informed consent around pursuits of intentional weight loss
• Body grief
