Guest guest Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 My name is . I'm a 35 y/o sahm to 4 (4 mos, 4, 8 & 11). I think I've had food issues all my life (family curse!), but have been blessed w/ a decent metabolism to make up for it...until now! Since I hit 30 things have definitely changed! (and the 4 kids haven't helped!) I hate diets, can't stick with them. I hate feeling that I CAN'T eat certain foods, I end up obsessing about the " bad " things and then eventually binging on them. I followed an ie plan after having my first child and had some success. It's almost harder for me than following a diet because I don't know how to eat just anything in moderation. I feel like I'm not in control. But I want to be gentle with myself and not punish myself with dieting and extreme exercise anymore. I'm glad I've found this group. I don't have any books at this time, I'm just going by what I remember from the first time I tried eating this way. Any suggestions and starter points would be appreciated. Thanks so much!

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Hi , I can relate to you, I am a very bad dieter and obsess so much on food when I try to diet. I got some free info on intuitive eating at amihungry.com, you can downlow the first chapter of the book and there is a nice radio interview with Dr. May to get you started.
