Key Points:

• "That big hunk of metal gets way more power than it deserves." Reba Sloan
• IE is meant to help one heal their relationship with food not as a weight loss tool.
• Can you have a peaceful relationship with food with weight loss as a goal?
• Taking the scale out of your home can be an important step in your journey to making peace with food. Can make steps gradually to checking less or burn it!
• Think small steps to help get back on track with intuitive eating. Try to avoid "all or nothing" and appreciate you don't have to be all in.
• Intuitive eating can easily be interpreted in a black and white way just like diets.
• Motivational interviewing
• What drove you to step on the scale? 
• Where do you stand in your body image?
• Everyone's needs are different.
• Satter Eating Competence Model
  • Eating attitudes (whether or not having positive eating experiences....important!)
  • Food acceptance (picky eating)
  • Internal regulation (hunger, fullness, satiety)
  • Contextual skills (planning, preparing, grocery shopping, cooking)
• Pivot to enhance eating competence before easing back into Intuitive Eating
