Guest guest Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Hi All, I've been lurking a little bit, reading posts, scared to share. I am in Overeaters Anonymous and I believe that OA and Intuitive Eating are compatible. The nice thing about OA is that I can define my abstinence. I can simply make my abstinence to not eat unconsciously. I was wondering if there is anyone out there using these 2 program together successfully? I've tried to do intuitive eating on my own but failed miserably. I go unconscious so easily. Right now, I'm in a place that I feel good about. I've been abstaining from sugar for over 6 months and I've lost the craving for it. I've just added eating only 3 meals a day to my abstinence and that is going well. Next, I want to start employing some of the principles of intuitive eating. I think I'll start with making sure I'm hungry before I eat. I'd like to let go of any rules, but I feel like the best thing for me is to take it slow. Like I said, I'm scared that everyone is going to jump on me and tell me I'm doing it all wrong. Please be gentle in your comments. I'm not trying to upset anybody. I'm just trying to get help. I don't want to bury my feelings in food anymore. I want to trust my body and give it what it needs. I want freedom around food. Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
