Guest guest Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Hi! My name is Becky, and I am in the process of reading " Ful-Filled " . I want to be part of your support group and to share my experiences during this time. I have read and completed the exercises from the first two chapters. I also did a tapping exercise that I found on-line. I have read and am working through the third chapter. So far I am feeling very affected by the work I have done. I tend to be somewhat distanced from my emotions, and I have experienced some very wrenching emotions, especially with the tapping exercise. I feel happier, as if I have released some of my inner pain. At the same time, I am not yet free of overeating. Last night I ate about 6 brownies which my teenager had made. However, I went through some of the week 3 exercises--the DIF technique and the Re-Do. I also asked myself to identify the positive intention of my overeating, and I came up with some interesting insights. I have been trying to lose weight unsuccessfully for too long. Obviously, I need to work on some emotional issues. I am very happy to find this pathway, and I look forward to talking to people on this site again.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Hi Becky, I am new to the group too. I've been listening to the IOWL podcasts for about 4 months and am working though the book as well. Since January I have lost about 8 lbs. As a yoyo dieter for the last 20 years with 75 lbs. to release, I can tell you that this is a huge breakthrough for me. And this success has helped me to believe that I can keep going. The thing I am really loving (but also find challenging) about this process of changing my relationship with food is that I need to look about what I am feeding when I overeat. And so often I am feeding some sort of hurt or loneliness and I am so accustomed to eating instead of feeling that food is my go to source of comfort. That's why we call it comfort food, right? All of this to say, I know where you are coming from. As says, we gained the weight for a reason, it has served us somehow over time. blessing, Kate -- " You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you odd.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Becky,  Welcome.  I hope you feel comfortable sharing with us some of the insights you have had.  This is a supportive group and I have learned a lot about my own positive intentions for my behavior with food from others who have shared.  Glad you are here.   Livingston ________________________________ To: insideoutweightloss Sent: Monday, March 5, 2012 3:38 PM Subject: Ful-Filled  Hi!

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Welcome Becky! I'm way behind on my homework and with conference every night until 8 it will be a couple days before I can get back to it. I had a very stressful day at work and I'm happy to say I have no desire to fix it with food. Sounds like you're making progress!

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 What kind of advice are you looking for? Are you reading the book, or going through the podcasts? Or both? Either way, it's great to use the group to help keep yourself accountable. As you do the exercises--post your responses here. Or in the SparkPeople team (search for IOWL). Or with a group of friends. With the podcasts, it's definitely worth starting from the beginning. Listen to 0 (prologue) through 18 in order. After that, you could probably listen out of order if there's a title that jumps out at you, but there really is a progression. I couldn't listen to more than 3 new ones a week when I first found the series and was trying to catch up. I wanted more--but that was about all I could take in. I only downloaded about 3 at a time, too, to avoid temptation. :-) But after listening, I left them on the iPod, and I would shuffle through the ones I'd already heard. This gave me a good balance between not getting overwhelmed by new stuff, but being able to reinforce what I was learning. It's really, really valuable to keep some form of success journal. A place where you note where you are now, at the beginning, and record your progress. At some later point when you feel stuck, you will be amazed at how far you've come when you go back and review your success journal. Don't be afraid to ask questions. And don't get discouraged if you don't get an immediate response! Welcome to the group. >________________________________ > >To: insideoutweightloss >Sent: Tuesday, June 5, 2012 8:14 AM >Subject: Ful-Filled > > > >I very new to IOWL and would welcome advice from the more experienced practitioners of IOWL.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 , Thanks for the welcome. I ordered the book, but it has not been delivered yet, and am on week one of the class. I'm on Podcast #20 of the IOWL series. I understand what you're saying about limiting yourself.... there is so much to absorb, but I'm taking it in like a sponge. The content of the podcasts about intention, don't say no, envision yourself how you want it to be, get the support from the universe, redos.... it so great. It really speaks to me, and that's why it's easy for me to do. She's a life saver. I was having success with WW, and I'm still tracking my daily points. But what is so great about IOWL is you lose that obsession with the food. The fight with the daily points is gone. One of the things that was also brought up from podcast, the one where you step into the self you want, your future self, and see how it feels. I didn't feel safe. Wow that was an " aha " for me. It went back to several events in my childhood I was not aware of. I was aware for years after my cancer episode, that I felt healthy if I was fat. Right... makes sense. If I was fat, I didn't have cancer. It took me almost ten years (this year) to set that aside and say enough and I started WW. But I admit, so far I've lost 25 pounds, this morning I started coughing, probably from the smoke in the air from the Gile fire, but I immediately had a mini panic attack about lung cancer. But I repeated, and repeated .... I'm safe, I'm safe, I'm healthy, I'm healthy. Powerful stuff is happening. Thank you for your support. To: insideoutweightloss From: lsageev@...

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 , Do you have an episode suggestion for fear of illness? Honestly, the better I feel, the stronger that sabotaging fear of illness becomes. Meditation perhaps will help, but since you've experienced more of the episodes that I have, maybe you know one with tools for this. thanks again for your support.
