Re: chewer and spitter... starting out Fullfilled

[Guest guest]

Hi there!

You sound very similar to me. Exactly the same thing happened to me when I found

renee podcast. so I just joined this group to start putting in the work. For

some reason I actually believe and her methods work even though I've

binged liked crazy after finding her. I'm 23 and have been struggling similarly

to you for four years. I guess the first bit I didn't think it would Lasting

issue and was not too worried. Here I am four years later and find my self

realizing this will be forever if I don't stop now... do you want to work

through the book together?

Best,

[Guest guest]

Welcome! I'm not sure about the threads.

Subject: chewer and spitter... starting out Fullfilled

 

Hi y'all,

Have finally dragged myself over to my comp to start a-posting on this group. i

found the podcast a couple of months ago, and am finally gonna give it 100%

(rather than the 90% that gave me a couple of good weeks, then a few good

moments among A LOT of binging... 100% means giving/finding support to/from

other people who are doing this and i don't want to bring anyone around here

into it any more than they already have been).

Anyone else just starting out on this? (i saw a couple of threads but they seem

to be a week old or so... anyone around?

quick summary of me: 10 years of chewing and spitting, putting on/dropping

weight, overexcersising to stay even somewhat normal-size, wasting hundreds of

thousands of dollars (i did the calculations) of money on food and some on

therapies and ridiculous amounts of time and money on it. Lost the respect and

trust of family (stealing others' food'll do that) and lost a lot a lot of

friends over it.

i'm about to turn 26, though and i am hugely scared of what my life will look

like if i don't change. (i have 'tried' everyday for at least 9 years - i guess

the first year it didn't occur to me to stop)

is there a way to format the message views so they are laid out by thread rather

than by post?

Welcome whynoteh! You know my very first client ever was a chewer and spitter.

So glad you've found this work and this wonderful group. There are some free

resources on my site as well, including an EFT video. insideoutweightloss.com.

Love,

Hi ,

I just wrote a really long reply post to this but my net dropped out... so

here's the gist...

YAY! another (soon to be ex-) chewer and spitter! solidarity woman!

For sure - let's do this!

You are 100% right (and considering that combined we have 14 years experience

binging, i think we can safely say that we are experts) -the kind of

mindfulness/intuitive eating renee teaches is the best, safest, healthiest most

sustainable way (only way?) to relax into life and let this thing go... DAMMIT

IF ONLY I COULD GET MYSELF TO DO IT!!!!!!

how are you going with ch 1 (or ch 1-whichever ch you are looking at atm? feel

free to email me if you don't want to post)

Also, yay! renee's first client was a c & s-er! they exist and are recoverable!

(assuming they are now sorted...)

Cheers,

whynoteh55

Hi ,

Thanks for replying!

A massive thanks and congrats on the podcast - i knew mindfulness/intuitive

eating was THE only way forward for a while now (and practised it for about a

year after 7 years of C & S... until it kind of morphed into anorexia and then

back to C & S which seemed like the less-scary cousin (but not!! it's the more

insidious and deceptively sustainable cousin that you could actually live your

life semi-functionally but totally crappily with), but finding your podcast was

such a gift...

Hearing a real person talk (rather than reading it - so much more REAL for me),

and listening to your and your clients' stories (OMG OTHER PEOPLE HAVE EATEN OUT

OF THE BIN?! made me cry:)), as well as the structure you lay out to follow and

having so many episodes reiterating the same forgiving, kind, sensible messages

that i could listen to over and over again really cemented a path out - and i

was so so desperate - but so bloody USED to the desperation that i forgot i was

desperate - I forgot i didn't have to 'try' to get better everyday - that i

could actually get better!!!!!!

Feel free to ignore this completely - but you could branch out from weight loss

- I think i could have benefited hugely from what you advocate when i was

anorexic - and i have very many skinny/normal sized friends who are always on

diets/not eating this/that - in fact maybe 80% of Australia's population could

benefit... my whole department at work (male and female) are using My Fitness

Pal to calorie count and CHARTED THEIR WEIGHTS in an excel spreadsheet for a bit

- and not just out of curiosity, but to lose weight... mah! this is not just me!

(none had seen that episode " Weight loss " of The Office... they thought i was

weird for thinking THIS IS WEIRD!!)

THanks so much again for providing such invaluable tools, for proving there's

another way to 'do life', and for talking about the kind of stuff that none

(well at least some?) of us don't want to talk about very much... i hope you do

more podcasts!

Just wanted you to know that I am a listenener and use the book to help me and I

do have anorexia.  I have been in a very bad patch the past 6 months and after

a recent hospitization I am turning things around.

 

I have loved 's podcasts and her book has helped me identify more of the

issues that I deal with and the positive intent of my eating disorder.  I love

the redo and so happy to have this aresnal of tools to help me.

 

While my extreme behavior does fall on the other side of the spectrum my

feelings of shame, guilt and obsession with food and counting is very, very

similar to everyone else who struggles here.

Heh. That's when I knew 's method was for me.

I used to douse stuff in dish soap first, until one day I was thinking about the

fact that you wash dish soap off plates and eat off them...

Then I turned to window cleaner. LOL!

It's been a long, long time since I've had to resort to that.
