Guest guest Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Hello! I am and I found Intuitive Eating as a wellness course for employees at a University. It is everything I had always felt in my heart and not known how to put into words. I absolutely love it. It is liberating when I am following it's principles. I have gained some weight recently (stress/ emotional eater!!!) and I already feel defeated. I don't feel like I even have the energy to get mad about it. Talk about a hopeless place.... But today as I was looking over the 10 principles, I felt somewhat renewed to take charge. I am a F/T mom with lots of opportunities to eat throughout the day. I don't LOVE physical activity either so that combo can be challenging. I am really good at rejecting the diet mentality and challenging the food police but not so good at honoring my hunger..... I want to just be healthy, not skinny. I want to feel good in this body I came to earth with. Right now I feel ashamed and hideous. I NEED this group, I need a haven where I can share these principles and be reminded that this is a continual work in progress. While I lived in Hawaii, exercise was more pleasant, but now I am in a dry, HOT, high elevation where it is painful to exercise and painful to see so many "perfect" people all around me. I just realized that i want to become a personal trainer for my own sake, so I can understand my body and ultimately assist others as well. Anyway, I have rambled enough. I look forward to getting to know you and reading your posts. Sarao Let's Make Some Magic !!!

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 , You are truly on the right track when you know that IE is a long term process. Diets are about 'quick' results and which are all too often short term discomfort followed by long term disappointment. Hang with us and find what works for you for your life long happiness.
