Guest guest Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Kim I felt the same way as you when I first started IE this June it was one year since I started I have to get weighed every time I go to the doctor for medical reasons so just for you to see that IE does work although slowly if you have patience I will give you my three weights since June of last year for the three times I went to the doctor Last June I weighed 167 the next time I went to the doctor I weighed 156 and by the beginning of August as of my last check up I weigh 148 since I have started I have continued to lose weight I probably gained some back since my family reunion this August but in the end I feel happier with IE and my relationship with food then I have in a long tine and that us what is important to me. Eva I know this may be an unhappy topic for some, but I'm wondering, has anyone experienced getting to their natural weight through intuitive eating? I just began the process in August and am struggling with believing that this will actually happen for me. I know this is not a quick and easy process, but I'm struggling with weight gain right now. I know others are in the same boat, it's just so hard to stick with it when I feel like I am doing the opposite that I want to be doing to my body right now.My end goal is truly peace with food and my body, but this has been a more painful and anxiety provoking process than I predicted.My scale is still in the closet and I have not weighed in a few days, so I wonder if my mind is playing tricks on me, but I don't want to turn back to the scale for my reality check.Sorry for this anxious rant. I guess I'm just looking for some hope from the more experienced IE'ers. I also want to believe that what you say in response is true, but this little voice in my head is saying that you will only tell me what I want to hear to make me feel better You may be thinking that if there's a little voice in this girl's head, she has much bigger problems than learning to eat intuitively...LOL! :)Thanks,KariIEing since August 21st------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
