I am new!

[Guest guest]

Good morning to all of you!

My name is Emmanuelle and I am new to this group.

I have been on my first diet at age 7 and I am now 35.

It took me all those years to understand that diets don't work and I

have to admit that part of me is still tempted by dieting.

I embarked on this path of Intuitive Eating last week and... being the

Queen of impatience.. I still eat sometimes when I am not hungry and I

feel guilty when I eat.And I still feel fat!

They say in the book that the longer you have been dieting, the longer

it takes to be in tune with your body hunger signals.

So i am grateful to read all foyour posts, they really help me!

Have a wonderful day

Welcome Emmanuelle! It will take awhile to undo all your years of diet mentality. The best thing you can do is just reject diet mentality completely and trust IE!! It's really hard to do after years of dieting! I've been at this almost 2 years now and it's a long process but totally worth it!

Again, welcome!!
