I had a cousin who lived in Grafton. I know right were that is. How far are

you from me now?

[Guest guest]

my son, carter, 3.11 years now, would not eat a thing--other than to drink

milk or eat mac and cheese---since going on the diet 4 weeks ago he has a

healthy appetite. Tonight for the first time he ate cooked carrots and asked

for 3 additional helpings...it is amazing! Although he has so much less to

choose from, is interested in so much more....he actually asks to eat

and will tell us he is hungry...that has never happened before in his life.

Good Luck!

Welcome Dayna so glad to have you with us. Eva

Hi Dayna

Welcome to the group! I am , and I also stay at home and homeschool, 2 little ones. I started Intuitive Eating, because I got so tired of food being the enemy. I am a size 12 right now, and if Im never a size 6 or anything else for that matter, I am happy. God and my husband like me just the way I am. I hope you found the group helpful.

New here

Hi everyone! My name is Dayna. I am 38y/o married to a wonderful husband and am a stay at home/ homeschooling mom to five little ones. It's only been recently that I have really had a struggle with food. Since the birth of my last child 2 years ago, I went from a size 12 down to a size 1 (within 6 months) and now, thanks to binging, am back close to where I started. And now it seems that the harder I try to lose the weight again, the more I end up gaining...ugh... I have now read Intuitive Eating 3 times and think that it really makes sense. I watch my toddlers eating habits and realize how he naturally eats intuitively and is extrememly healthy. (And far from overweight.. ) I tried ie and had no desire to binge for 6 whole weeks!!! Unfortunately, I started weighing myself. I actually was proud of myself in that I maintained my weight for an entire month. But then the desire to start making that number lower started and I gradually found myself watching what I ate. First I was only going to watch to make sure that I got the proper food groups in my diet, and then somehow numbers started getting attached to all the food I was eating and the next thing I knew I was counting/restricting calories. I lost 10 lbs in about 2 weeks, but ended up crashing and burning and the binge monster reared it's ugly head again. Sigh...I am now 1 week into starting ie again. I have been reading over past posts and found so many that I could have written myself. Glad to have found this group and hoping that with this support we can all be successful!!! God Bless,Dayna:)

Marjorie welcome to the group you will find many wise and supportive people here thank you for sharing your story with us. Eva

Hello All,

I am Marjorie, new here, and been struggling with dealing with many feelings lately. This brought me to a place that made me see my eating disorder from 20-30 years ago was back and doing a great job of letting me stuff my feelings way, way, down. I used to control my eating, (i couldn't be thin enough!!!) because that was the only control I had in my life in my 20's and 30's. Now I know I have BED (Binge Eating Disorder) as I have seen all the symptoms change into this, even though the feelings are so similar.

I have to say I have been doing this for about 2 years, as my husband entered graduate school, had a change in careers, (adult) children/ family issues and through it all, I am bound and determine to keep things in the house running smoothly and perfectly. And the times I do see my (biological)family, 30 to 60 days before i have been dieting/exercising and look FAB!!!! only to get home from the trip and binge and get depressed... I blamed it on peri-menopause (good try)

I have been reading IE and trying to see my signals, cut out laxatives, and let go of my dieting and "bad food" labels... It makes sense, I am not there.... I need to be patient with myself.

I think the hardest thing I have had to do is tell my husband (of 9 years). He is a great person who just pleads with me to "see myself through his eyes".... I can never hear a compliment, no less hear "You are OK". I really want to get right with my feelings. I have the courage right now to walk forward with this. I am really uncomfortable with voicing, but, I cannot keep the secret anymore-

and you think after 18 years in a 12 step program, many counseling sessions through the years, being a Dietitian and counseling others.... This wouldn't happen to me. 16 months ago I became a pastor's wife... and have made a sick internal promise to keep everyting smooth and perfect.... not good.
