RE: Hello everyone - I am finally coming forward.

[Guest guest]

Welcome Helen! Glad you've come out of lurkdom. God Bless,Dayna:)To: IntuitiveEating_Support From: helenhjones@...Date: Tue, 30 Dec 2008 00:31:15 +0000Subject: Hello everyone - I am finally coming forward.

My name is Helen , and I live in New Orleans, LA.

No more lurking or long term absentism, unless I have computer problems.

I have been lurking in the beginning when I first join months ago.

Thank you for notiflying me of membership updating. I realize that I

could use some support from Intuitive Eating Support Network Community.

I weigh 350 lbs, 5'8", wear a size 26w, I go the a gym maybe 3-4 months

a year for bodybuildy and cardio on the epliptical machine. I just quit

smoking cigarettes on Christmas day. I was smoking 5-15 cigarettes a

week. I tore up the last 14 cigarettes I had. I love to eat. I have

been consious of my overeating, and paying attention to my hunger. And

I want to work more on knowing when I am truly hungry and comfortably

full.

I am going to read the threads again to become familiar with topics

issues, and see what can be a benefit.

I do not know what else to say, other then I knew I was coming back,

and this time particpate.

So glad to have you here and GOING for it too. This is not an

overnight type of process and I know I sure needed and appreciated all

the feedback and support I can get. As long as you don't give up on

yourself, we won't give up on you either.

BEST to you, Katcha

Helen,

It is nice to hear from someone so close to my home in Eeast Texas. Somehow it feels better to know that some of you are closer than i thought. I work in Longview Tx and LA is a nice neighbor for us here.

I lurk too but this is a great network of people and I am gaining in baby steps from their wisdom.

Helen, maybe you can print out the Book List and take it to your local

library to find what you can get your hands on right away. I recommend

Overcoming Overeating as the faster to read and easiest to understand.

The Intuitive Eating book is much more 'meaty' with information and

one that many end up wanting a copy for themselves too. Don't forget

that any questions are most welcome.
