Guest guest Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Welcome back. Glad to see you are rejecting diet mentality and re-reading IE. I have to keep reminding myself that DIETS DON'T WORK. And I too have gained weight and had to buy bigger sizes of clothing. I just want to feel good. Sandy Hi there everyone, I used to be quite active in this group a few years back but haven't been in touch much for the past year or so. Anyway to make a long story short...I am so out of touch with the IE principles so I'm making a committment to become active in this group again and re-read Intuitive Eating. I could go on an on about all the stresses in my life and why I haven't been focused on IE lately but it really doesn't matter. Yes, I have gained weight in the past year. I fell like I am bulging out of most of my clothes. I have been fighting diet mentality something fierce lately. I've been sooooo close to signing up for Weight Watchers online several times. But then I remember how miserable I was when I did WW. I feel so heavy and everything feels like such an effort lately. I really just want to feel good again and know that should be my focus- not my weight. So anyway....I'm back! Looking forward to taking part in the group again.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Thanks Foggy and for the welcome back! I read this quote today "You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection." -Buddha and my horoscope today was:"You should take better care of yourself today -- after all, if you're suffering, how can you be expected to give as much as your people need? If it feels a little awkward, you're doing it right." and now you Foggy say "God created you to be good to you!" I think the universe is trying to tell me something!!

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Thanks Abby! It was a long winter....we had to put our horse down Dec 29. He was old (33!) and had been failing but he got down in his stall and couldn't get up. Damn near broke my heart. Then my grandmother died Jan 13. Again she 93 and sick the past few years and really bad over Christmas...so in some ways it was a bit of a blessing but also very hard. I've been dating a guy since Dec 30...seems to be moving along good (so I've had some great days in there) and then the brakes go on again with him. And work has been crazy busy and stressful. But hey...that's life. I just gotta learn to not deal with it all through food.
