Guest guest Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 I was reading Koenig's blog on the site that was posted earlier about Rainbow eating and something clicked for me here... She was talking about the price of success, why we (especially perfectionists, like me) feel when we are suffering (through starvation in my case) that we are striving, accomplishing something, that the suffering made us feel good because we had to suffer to accomplish. And that this is difficult to let go of. When we are not suffering, we are failing to do something... It made me think about pre-IE, when I was dieting (suffering) I was much more happy than when I was not dieting. I felt like I was doing something that needed to be done, that I wanted to do. Suffering=Success In the past months, I have been legalizing foods, not suffering through starvation, not depriving myself of anything I wanted and guess what?! I am happy now, too! What an interesting feeling. Not suffering=Success Hmmm...Could it be true? Meg IE since 2/08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
