Amy, I have not spoken to a coach yet, however I can see I need to read the IE book again. Tai

How Many of you have actuallt met with or talked to a nutritionist who stresses IE? Or a Counselor that does IE? I am wondering if that is what I need to do. I have read the Inuitive Eating book. I really understand it, but feel maybe I need the emotional side of it. I have done really good but find myself doubting myself and fighting with my ED(I have had anorexia and EDNOS most recently)? I am just curious if it has helped you to continue on.

Tai: I need to re-read the book too, probably many times. And I have the CD collection too(4 disks). I am also working with Gillian and that has a workbook to go along. Still today I am not doing that great. For one thing I did not sleep well(bad dream) and then roach I had to kill at 2 a.m. I have been having trouble with my stomach too that started Saturday. It felt like a mild case of stomach flu but I don't think that was exactly it. I may have been eating too much fruit. I feel a little uncomfortable today too. It's almost noon and I need to eat before 1:00. I am going to play Wii bowling with a group of friends, I think. I am not supposed to do too much exercise before my lab work tomorrow. It might affect the results. I talk to Gillian today. I am feeling a little down, partially because the fun of celebration is over. And although age for me never was an issue, this year it is. I turned 68. That's only 2 years away from 70. My brother did turn 70. It gives pause to think about the importance of time. At this stage in my life I started to think,whoa, I may have only 10-20 good years of life left. WOW. Where did all the years go. And how can I make the most of the ones I have left. It is amazing how fast times goes by as I get older. This is not negative, but introspective thinking. My brother gave me an engraved glass " bucket " with my " Bucket list " accomplishments on it. I have quite a few but none in mind for the future. Got to work on it. I have so many projects I started and never finished. Maybe it is time I do that. Sorry this got to be so long. Sandy

Hey, Sandy, I can appreciate what you are saying. I will be 68 this year (December), and it is amazing how vital I feel, yet my body isn't that great. I know my time is limited but this does not overly disturb me, because I accept the reality of things, and because of my faith in God, this sustains me. Yet the time presently is short. :-) I do not crave cake and candy, although the thought of cake and etc. is interesting (not tempting, but I know it's there). I'm having other problems with my eating, and I am so glad we are on the same page length, and in the same age category. :-) Today I had oatmeal and fresh fruit for breakfast, then I thought I was hungry so I just had a large bowl of salad with olive oil, greens, lemon juice, a little feta cheese for flavor and three kalamata olives cut up for more flavor. It was

good. I did not think about how many calories in the food I ate today, but I might give this more thought in the future. I added some cut up fresh strawberries to the salad -- I must say it was good. But, as I said, no matter how hard I try I am not losing weight. Oh well ... yes, I got the book some time ago, then wound up throwing it out, and now I will hope the library has a copy of it, otherwise I'll be getting another one on ebay, perhaps? We will keep trying, won't we? I'm looking at a book with a severe eating plan in it and thinking maybe I should do that. But I know I probably will not be able to do that for more than a day. We're in a pretty shape, aren't we? :-) Take care, I have to leave the house soon, but it is always great talking to you.

I was sent to a nutritionist as part of treatment for EDNOS diagnosis who

happened to be very pro-IE (I did not know that before I went to see her). I'm

definitely still in the process learning how to eat again but she has been

tremendously helpful (more helpful that the psychologist they assigned me to or

any book I read). I found the feedback and encouragement you can get from a

live person to be helpful in staying motivated and focused (especially when you

have relapses or other setbacks). I would definitely recommend it.

Cheers!

This is exactly why I'm intending to get officially certified for this. I don't think there is enough therapeutic support out there. Once I'm certified (and licensed) I'm hoping to do some group therapy around these issues. I have a lot of aspirations, but must be properly trained. And our licensing board is backed up by months due to state budget issues. So it will be a while. Rain

Tai: Sounds like you might want to throw out that book with the severe eating plan. I think my issue with age is that there is not enough time left it seems to do lots of things. Then I sit in the house and do nothing. But my grandson is 5 and I will probably be here to see him graduate from high school, maybe college. He really is so incredibly smart(not just a grand mother saying that) that he might get through his education early. He has been reading for a while and is doing math. I really feel like I got a new lease on life after my " brain " surgery last year. Before that I think I have said I could hardly walk, or think and was wearing depends. Now I walk normally, think real good most of the time, have pretty good bladder control and can run after my grandson and play. We went bowling last week. It was nice to have the child bumpers up so even I didn't get any gutter balls. He beat me by one point ad it was his first time ever. I am not afraid of dying, just not wanting to run out of time. I have so many things I enjoyed and had to give them up before my surgery. Your salad sounded great. I like a good salad sometimes too and not for weight loss reasons. Today my tummy has been upset so I am not craving much of anything. But I am getting hungry. Just don't know what I will eat. Later. Sandy

thanks for this post. I'd never heard the an acronym EDNOS so I went and looked it up. I found this very interesting website: http://www.findingbalance.com/articles/disorders/ednos.asp

and now I know exactly what to say to my doctor at my appointment in a couple weeks. I found the descriptions of some things to be so right on for me and now I can explain them in an intelligent way and I know where I want to go with a treatment plan suggestion. Interestingly enough this site also lists the chewing and spitting behavior we were just discussing on this list.
