Guest guest Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Thanks so much dor sharing that story it is inspiring and I am so happy that you are getting comfortable with food. Eva I think there is only one way out of the situation we put ourselves in. and It's not to diet. Therefore we all are here fleeing from the I'm thin thanks to... weight watchers...etc...endless list. And we have strong reasons why we want to be free from diets as well of the overeating, both are equally harmful and slavery. I am here not only for fatness but for unnatural thinness. I want the real deal: a normal shape from a normal eating pattern. that takes me to the basics, eat when hungry stop when full. I'm over all other eating situations, social eating, because it looks yummy , she cook it for me, before is gone, to watch my favorite program, because I am in this eating place.etc...endless list here too.It takes time but the more I skipped those eating situations the easiest it is to do it. As I was watching every morsel of food before, you know thinking how many points, how much it weighted or how many calories now I taste every single piece of food or drink and enjoy it and when it is not loger tasting great, I found myself thinking why eat this last bite , it doesn't taste good anymore, I'm forever grateful that we come with that satiety effect. I have binge before and I remember it has nothing to do with taste, I could binge from the trashcan, It didn't matter much. And now I want everything to taste great to make it to my stomach. I think it's because of this site, that has help me to see clearly. thank all.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Hi again....when I started IE in Sept 2006 I was about 205-210 lbs. January 1, 2008 when I weighed myself I was 254. The last time I weighed myself I was 249 (sometime in May) so I have lost a few pounds this year (I have since stopped weighing again because I was just obsessing about it). I'm just happy to have stopped the gaining and enjoying the feeling of having my clothes get looser! I think what helped me the most was accepting my body as it is. I am no less of a person because I am overweight. I was so embarrased about my weight gain but gaining weight does not make me (or you!) a bad person! I am good enough as I am and I don't have to lose weight. As ironic as it as when I stopped trying to lose weight, I started losing. Subject: Re: I weighedTo: IntuitiveEating_Support Received: Wednesday, July 9, 2008, 10:34 AM See, I've been doing IE for over a year too, and have not concentratedon weight. But, my not strict following of listening and waiting forstomach hunger has caused me to gain 40 lbs. So, I really do think Ineed to start thinking about the consequences of my actions, becauseotherwise this will just continue on and on. Now with a new friend-happy design! Try the new Yahoo!
