carefully and exercise regularly.  My eating habits consist of really

control when I can't take the restrictions any more, and then beating myself up

over it. I've had " food issues " since I was a teenager and have tried all the

crazy diets out there, starting with some weird diets my Mom put us on as kids

back in the 80s when she was trying to lose weight.  I'd just like to be able to

eat healthy food in normal portions without all the drama, and I'd like to

reduce the amount of time and energy I spend obsessing about food and put that

time and energy towards something that makes me feel good about myself.  Since

I'm so new, I probably won't post much, but will be reading all your stories and

successes.

Welcome, Kim! Don't let your newness stop you from posting, especially if you

think you could use some input. It constantly amazes me how many bits of myself

I see in every one of you.

Hi, I'm Kim and I'm just starting out with IOWL. I've listened to a couple of

podcasts and am just starting to work through week 1 of the book and do the

exercises. I'm 42 and I think about food constantly. I'm not really overweight,

but my family is all heavy and I gain weight really easily if I don't eat

carefully and exercise regularly. My eating habits consist of really

restricting what I allow myself to eat, and then breaking down and eating out of

control when I can't take the restrictions any more, and then beating myself up

eat healthy food in normal portions without all the drama, and I'd like to

reduce the amount of time and energy I spend obsessing about food and put that

time and energy towards something

that makes me feel good about myself. Since I'm so new, I probably won't post

Welcome Kim, it sounds like you have yout intentions clear. Don't be shy about

posting here out there. You don't have to be 50 lbs.over to have issues with

food. And you're not new to this struggle, you have plenty of experience to

share. I sn learning a lot from everyone here.
