Ditch the diets: Stay committed to ditching diet culture. Give up the idea that thinness equates to health and self-worth. Give up the idea that there is an ideal body size.

Eat what you crave: Get rid of the idea that certain foods are “good” and “bad” Give yourself permission to eat the foods you actually enjoy.

Pursue a Supportive Environment: Find people who support your intuitive eating journey, and set boundaries with people who that don’t. Unfollow those that promote diet culture.

Work towards variety: Aim to maintain a balanced plate that will help you feel your best  and provide your body with the nutrients it needs.

Realize hunger is a good thing: Physical hunger is your body’s way of telling you that it needs to be nourished. If you’re hungry, allow yourself to eat without judgement.

Avoid using the scale to measure "progress": Use non-scale victories to measure your progress. Focus on how good you feel, and how amazing it is to be nourishing your body.

Practice mindful eating: Use your senses; sight, smell, touch, and taste to connect to your fullness and satisfaction. This will cause you to be less likely to mindlessly overeat.

Be patient with yourself: Know that practicing intuitive eating takes time. Practice self-compassion to help you move forward without feeling like a failure.
