Re: How do I learn to trust my body?

Your welcome Cheryl some days you struggle more then others with IE but if you stick with it you will be happy with your relationship with food. I know I am a lot happier with my relationship with food since I started IE. Eva

Eva, Thanks for the encouring words! I tend to be a bit impatient, so they really hit the mark. I'll try to remember that with IE "perfection is not a virtue." Instead, IE is all about the process--which means that it's going to take some time and I need to be more patient and gentle with myself.Cheryl>> Cheryl, Thans so much for sharing your story and welcome to the group well > the only thing I can suggest is what someone posted here in the group before > thaat made a lot of sense to me.

Eva,

Thanks for the encouring words! I tend to be a bit impatient, so

they really hit the mark. I'll try to remember that with

IE " perfection is not a virtue. " Instead, IE is all about the

process--which means that it's going to take some time and I need to

be more patient and gentle with myself.
