RE: FINALLY giving up . . .

[Guest guest]

Debbie,

Your journey back to IE is so normal,

people come and go and eventually come back after exhausting all other

possibilities. This is good, because it means you are really ready!

Here’s the thing – you cannot

fall off the wagon with IE. You can’t fail, you can’t do it wrong,

you can’t make a mistake. Every step back is a learning experience to be

embraced and to learn something that will help you develop your IE skills and

tools, not to mention trusting yourself.

My suggestion is don’t start. That

sounds weird, but if you officially start, doesn’t that feel like a diet?

Just be. Incorporate IE principles into your life as you want to and take your

time. If you overeat, remember it’s not a mistake. It’s an

opportunity to figure out what happened and why. And all you have to do is move

on. Don’t skip your next meal or go workout like crazy, that’s

dieting. Just decide that the next time you are hungry, you will eat, and eat

what you want.

I hope this helps, it really is a paradigm

shift and it’s easy to turn IE into a diet so watch for that.

Thanks!

Gillian

FINALLY giving up . . .

Wow, I am so impressed with this group--what wisdom and practical

knowledge you guys are sharing! I have " lurked " in this group for a

while--read the Intuitive Eating book about five years ago, but just haven't

been able to really trust that diets don't work--I get scared and jump back on

the little " hamster wheel " of the latest diet. I'm 43, and I've

been on a diet of some sort since I was five years old. My highest weight was

320, and I am staying around 220. I am so tired of always trying, falling off

the wagon, starting AGAIN--ugh. I so want to be FREE--any suggestions for

REALLY starting to live this way? Thanks so much!

Debbie
