Guest guest Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Please note that my replies are below sections replied to. Scrolling needed ;-) Katcha > > I thought about quitting the group earlier; feeling like I'd fallen so far off the wagon that I could never get back on again. And that writing about my failures would only bring down the group... > > I remember all those OA meetings I've attended over the years with a room full of people most of whom had no abstinence whatsoever whining incessantly about their weight and their problems. What a drag to be part of a recovery group with no recovery. I like to think that is what makes this group better than all those 'programs' - whining IS allowed, mainly when it leads to insight and getting over what is frustrating one (whine cause). Plus we aren't encouraged to basically beat up on ourselves or impose EXternal dictates ONto our poor old bodies and minds. > > I contacted Gillian re committing to some phone coaching today and it brought up a level of diet mentality I didn't know was there. I was afraid that she would truly take food away from me forever. I know that's not what IE is, but a bunch of old thinking reared its head in anticipation of talking to someone who might be able to see through my stuff around food. GREAT step!! This is truly a loving thing you are doing for yourself. And I know Gillian will help you in ways you can't imagine. The rest of your post is wonderful - open and honest - and it touches me as well as I know it will connect with many others here too. You are NOT alone! I am honored to be sharing IE journeys with you. ehugs, Katcha IEing since March 2007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Thank you, Katcha! Love it! And need to hear it - fantasy land. Oh, the promises... > > > > I regret that my reply to this post is delayed. I so appreciate your honesty. I could relate to ALL of it. I am glad you are planning to stick with IE. I am finding it scary, too. The challenges are everywhere - in all shapes and sizes and forms. So may other groups, so many " solutions. " Today, I choose IE, and I am grateful. > > > > Waiting for the rumble (I needed that reminder.), > > , IE since 7/2011 > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
