I mostly drink water and tea so soda now feels too icky to drink but that hasn't stopped me from enjoying other desserts. I don't see myself giving that up lol I love it too much. If it works for you, then kudos to you. I just can't dedicate myself to it. Especially not an entire year. I hope you don't think I am putting you down or anything, if it works for you then you should stick to it.
That's not the definition of intuitive eating, at least I'm pretty sure it isn't. I look at the serving size of whatever I am eating on its packaging label, weigh it, log it, and eat it. I only eat that predetermined amount the manufacturer came up with. I don't say maybe I'll eat double this amount or half because my body feels differently that day. I eat the exact same thing of something every time I eat it. I stop eating when I've met my calorie count, not when my body feels sated. That's calorie counting. As long as I eat throughout the day, I don't feel much hunger. I'm pretty sure I have a slow metabolism and eating whatever I want in smaller portions has been working for me.
