Guest guest Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Welcome! I'm new too I've only been doing IE for a week, but I've been trying to work on all of the principles. I've been eating exactly what I want most of the time which is frightening bc a lot of it's been pretty unhealthy, high-calorie foods. I've been trying to determine my hunger levels before and after eating and stopping when I'm full. Unfortunately, I've had a crazy work schedule this week so that part has been a little difficult bc I only have certain times when I can eat. I've continued with my workouts which I'm happy about bc usually when I'm not following a diet I lose motivation to workout. I've also been trying to think positively about my body and who I am. I think the hardest part so far for me has been I still think about food all the time. I'm hoping that part will go away after awhile. It's only been a week so I'm sure it will. Anyway good luck and welcome! > > Yep, I'm new. I read Intuituve Eating over a year ago but thought it > would be awfully smart to lose the weight BEFORE getting my intuitive > eating groove on.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 That makes perfect sense and right in line with what IE seems to be all about. I'm so used to following the 'rules' that it's unfamiliar territory to make decisions based on what I want to do Thank you very much Eva! > > some people find it best to work on each principle one at a time and > go through the process slowly because it takes your body a while to get > adjusted to IE anyway.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Welcome back at you! I am exactly the same way about working out - very black and white. So I think that's wonderful that even with a crazy work week and less time to focus on your hunger levels you've been getting some exercise. Good for you! > > > > Yep, I'm new.
