Guest guest Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Welcome so glad to have you. Eva I'm new. :)I finally finished reading the Intuitive Eating Book today. I havetried various forms of Intuitive Eating in the past through books likeOvercoming Overeating and Geneen Roth's Books, but I would gainweight, get discouraged and go back to dieting. I am hoping that thistime I will finally be able to quit dieting for good as I'm totallyfed up with anything having to do with a diet right now. ------------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Welcome ! " Fed up " is an excellent place to begin. From there, you can discover what really works for your life. Gaining weight is normal for alot of people in the beginning of the process...sending you supportive energy to work with the IE principles and see what you learn about yourself. I equate dieting to representing a sort of " short-term " relationship, in the beginning you may see some results...feel some excitement, but after the honeymoon is over...it's difficult to maintain... " the relationship ends. " I've had several dieting relationships end and never wanted to go back to them again. After reading and working with IE, I felt like I had found my " true love " ...a holistic way of working with myself that I could commit to consistently and that would stand the test of time...because it just makes sense, my relationship with the principles will deepen over time, and I am ok as I am. Even if you don't " lose weight " immediately or ever, I have found that incorporating the IE principles into my life has been a great way to reclaim myself and to grow from where I am.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 , I too loved what I read in the Geneen Roth books but I just couldn't apply her ways to my life. That was more years ago than I care to remember, but I never forgot that diets don't work so I ate, gained weight and knew I had to find a way that suited and worked for me. I found this group over a year ago and the support I got here has helped me get IE into my life when I couldn't do that before. Good to have you here and hope you find what you are needing too. - Best to you, Katcha > > I'm new. > > I finally finished reading the Intuitive Eating Book today.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Thank you for the warm welcomes! , I don't know how my post got attached to your and I didn't mean to hijack it! I guess I used the same title as you by accident! Sorry! L., the gaining weight thing is what really stops my progress because I panic and feel self-conscious. The thing I keep telling myself which keeps me going is that I don't panic or feel afraid of eating anymore. And I can eat what I want and feel in control. Is " Fed Up " a book to read? Thanks for the supportive energy as I know I will need it since the weight gain is frightening for me! - > > > > I'm new. > > > > I finally finished reading the Intuitive Eating Book today.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Katcha, I also knew in the back of my mind that diets really don't work, but it's hard for me to be overweight and not be " doing something " about it, so I went back to dieting. Big mistake! I'm glad I found this group and I hope I can finally learn to incorporate IE into my life as well and not ever think about dieting again. - > > > > I'm new. > > > > I finally finished reading the Intuitive Eating Book today.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Nah... " Fed Up " is not any book that I've read...but one probably exists. I was referring to your statement that " I'm totally fed up with anything having to do with a diet right now " L. > > > > > > I'm new. > > > > > > I finally finished reading the Intuitive Eating Book today.
