You bring up an excellent point while indirectly pointing out the hypocrisy if not the double standards of today's "do what makes you feel happy" rule. People are encouraged to attend whatever university they want to and major in whatever they want even if it's against their best interest. People are encouraged to move to X or Y city, or X or Y country. Date who you want and have sex with who you want. But when it comes to food, that mentality of "do what you want" doesn't apply. Today's secular world categorizes food into "good" and "bad." If you eat the "bad" there's a stigma to it; the tactic of fear mongering is put into place - you'll get cancer, you'll get fat etc. (Yet we don't do that for alcohol and its effects, or even tobacco - though stigmatized, smoking is still socially acceptable). There's also shame - you're hurting the planet, you're hurting animals. This mentality also applies to what clothes we wear and where we shop (i.e. box store vs independent clothing store; Whole Foods vs regional grocery chain).

Overall, it's bizarre and I'm not exactly sure how we got to this point.

I eat fast food frequently. Trust me you will get tiered of it and want a salad. I eat it when it makes me feel happy. I stop eating it when it makes me feel not great

"There's a difference between feeling full and feeling satisfied". I love that. Brilliant. Thanks! :D

I tracked calories for over 400 days and then finally switched to intuitive eating and have been since 🙌🎉

I’ve struggled over my obsessive ed and extreme yo-yo phases for years and am slowly but surely getting into the well habit of listening to my body and being aware of foods that give me a happy gut and a happy mood! Just here to say, that whenever I have bad days with either myself or over food, I always come back to your video! ♥️

Freedom and gratitude. I E has banished bingeing. I can eat one reeses cup instead of 10. I eat vegetables and eggs for breakfast one day, oatmeal and banana the next, and nothing on another. I now exercise because it makes me feel amazing. My weight has stabilized, and because I no longer restrict, I love how my cravings and desires surprise me. Healthy, nutrient dense foods are wonderful. Having a blizzard with my husband? Also wonderful. I rarely finish them because I know I can always have another one another day. I wish I'd learned this in my 20's rather than my 50's, but it's so good. AND my 20 year old daughter seems to naturally eat this way despite her mom. Yay! I've tried to warn her about the trap of diet culture. She's getting through college without seeming to worry about weight. She wasn't even sure what her weight was. And she's a fashion major! There's hope.

I think she is so right, feeling comfortable and confident in your life like your body and the way you eat is key to a happy life!! I do need advice though, my doctor told me I need to gain weight and my dad and the rest of my family is pushing me to eat when I'm not hungry or comfortable eating and the types of food I'm not comfortable eating because of my doctor saying this. I am comfortable at my size currently and I don't want to gain weight but my dad is telling me I don't have a choice and I have to gain weight. So I don't know what to do, I'm afraid if I do gain weight I will not be comfortable with my body and I don't want that, I'm comfortable with my body right now and I don't know why I have to change for anyone else.

I watch all of your videos now, they're so inspiring. Everytime I start feeling restrictive or guilty or anything around food I come to your channel and it helps me so much! Thankyou for helping people keep going it truly is amazing.

I tried to start IE last year and earlier this year, and now i am finally just understanding it. Even after i bought the book as well. I definitely needed to be in recovery or recovered for IE to work for me.
Because now that i've dedicated myself to no longer living a life of starving, purging/binging, or saying awful things about myself or my body, implementing the basics of IE work so much easier for me ❤

I used to panic and wait anxiously for when i can eat again, stare at the clock, etc. etc. but now i truly understand and know that i can eat the food i want WHENEVER I want.

I think i've already gotten over the stage of eating Fast food, Snacks etc. Because i realized they made me feel awful/lethargic now. I'm going towards having balanced meals with the food i enjoy.

I've struggled with hard restricting and binge eating for a lot of time now. And my eating was unhealthy for quite some years. I used to listen to my unhealthy thoughts and not to my body. But i am trying to learn about my body and what it wants. This video was really great and helped. Thank you <3

[clvuvfx]

I was majorly tracking calories for months but I really want to switch to intuitive eating so I can eat the foods I used to love and thank you for the advice:)

Omg, thank you so much, Morgan! I’ve recently started watching your videos and you helped me SO MUCH in my recovery! I was vegan for almost 3 years and since watching you, I realized this is actually not what I need/want! I started seeing food and movement in a completely different way! Thank you for sharing all of this content and inspiring people every day! Love you, girl! 💕💕

[gwenmonteiro]

Thank you for sharing!! Intuitive eating needs more love, it's actually healthier physically and mentally than binge eating/diet culture. The people who can count macros for the rest of their lives with no problems that's great for them, but for people like me who don't want to make food the centre of their lives and thoughts, this works perfectly!

Please film part 2
You can't know how much these words made me happy .
I'm personally really in need to hear this

[fluffysox]

I do like this take. However, it’s important for people to remember that addiction hijacks the brain. A healthy person acknowledges when enough sugar is enough, an addicted person seeks it out no matter what. So this isn’t good for people who are unconsciously food addicted, they’ll end up gaining weight. I like intuitive eating for trying to identify which nutrients my body may be craving

[jenniewelsh]

Thank you so much for making this video. I feel really motivated to start eating intuitively at the moment. I’m finally just completely fed up with spending most of my day feeling guilty because I’ve eaten something I ‘shouldn’t have’. I’m fed up with only feeling happy and proud of myself if I’ve eaten ‘well’. To be honest I genuinely can’t imagine ever being able to eat intuitively at the moment. But videos like this remind me that it can be different, and I’m sure I’ll get there. Thank you so much again!❤️

[axcti]

[yvonneerrr]

I‘ve been struggling with binge eating since 2020 and now I want to change. I want to be happy, want to love food and be healthy again. Thank you for your video. I’m definitely going to use the information ☺️ greetings from Germany 🥰

[Sara-nnbp]

I come back and watch this whenever I feel like my anxiety around food is getting worse. Thank you so much Morgan❤️
