New to the Group and Hoping to Become an Intuitive Eater

[Guest guest]

Hello. My name is , and I'm a work-from-home mom to three boys: a

2-year-old and identical twin 8-month-olds. I have struggled with my weight and

body image as long as I can remember, but recently the idea of another diet has

just made me feel like I'd rather pull out my hair. A friend suggested Intuitive

Eating, and when I read about the Last Supper eating, I knew finally someone got

me. Finally, I'm ready to be FREE from food obsession. It has stolen too many

years of my life away, and I don't want it to steal time away from my children.

I want to be present in their lives.

So, I've read the first few chapters of the book, and I'm sold on the

philosophy, at least from a mental perspective, but I'm still a bit scared of

not being on a diet even though I know they don't work. I'm afraid of getting

even heavier and not being able to wear clothes I just started wearing since

having the babies. I'd love some words of wisdom.

Also, I wonder if any of you have worked with a dietitian to get help with

applying the principle of IE to your life? If so, how did you find someone?
