How Do I Know if I’m at a Healthy Weight?
Often when we begin to think about letting go of weight loss as a goal and start practicing intuitive eating, the first concern that comes to mind might be, but what if I need to lose weight for my health? How can I just let that go and be healthy?
Alternatively, you may have heard about set-point weight theory, and you may be wondering if after practicing intuitive eating for a while, the body weight you’ve settled at is a healthy weight for you.
We hear your concerns, and we pray this episode provides clarity, food for thought, and peace for your joyful health journey.
