Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I'm a 53-year-old woman who's been dieting since I was 13. I had read the first glimmerings of the intuitive eating approach years ago, when a book called E.ating A.warness T.raining was published. The whole idea of trusting myself to know when I was hungry, to know what I wanted to eat, scared the heck outta me! I'd also read through Geneen Roth's books; ditto. Finally, after a million successful and failed diets, I'm ready to give up dieting and start learning (I hope) to listen to my body. I'd bought "Intuitive Eating" last summer and never read more than the first two chapters. Too scared, I guess. But yesterday I hit some type of paradigm shift that (coupled with the fact that it was below zero outside!) made me sit and read through 3/4s of the book. Now I'm ready to both finish reading and start putting what I'm learning into practice. And I'm still really, really scared. BeckettStart the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape in the new year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
