"When we get more in touch with our hunger cues and honor them more consistently, then as a byproduct, we are able to more easily honor our fullness cues."
Learning to trust your body after years of dieting and food rules can feel confusing and overwhelming. In this episode, I’m breaking down the Hunger and Fullness Scale, the mindful eating tool that can help untangle the confusion and guide you back to your own internal cues. Inspired by a flood of questions from my Rebel community, we dig into how you can use the scale to make eating less stressful and more enjoyable, and how it can be a practical step toward building lasting body trust.
I share how honoring both hunger and fullness, rather than fixating on just one side, can help you move out of your head and into your body, shifting away from diet culture’s restrictive rules. And as always, I’m giving you honest guidance, practical tips, and important reminders that this journey is about progress, not perfection. Whether you’re starting to let go of calorie counting, or simply want to feel more at peace with your eating, today’s episode gives you the gentle push to try something new and the encouragement to trust yourself.
