Been around and gone again and back again

Hi all, I doubt anyone remembers me because I wasn't that vocal even before, but

I read the messages here almost daily and draw strength from your honesty and

hope. I have read the books on Intuitive Eating, done the Hunger workbook, read

Normal Eating, been to counseling and still I think I'm a little afraid the

honesty here. It's hard to admit that after 15 years of professional help and

personal effort I still haven't developed intuition.

My background is anorexia and obligatory exercise. I'm at a fairly healthy

weight now, but every bite and every workout is still governed by an enormous

amount of thought and stress and planning about what is best - when I deserve

what and the balance of workout and food. I don't have and idea about how to

relax. I do see some improvement at home when I fix our meals and I am in

control. But God forbid we go out to eat or worse visit someone's house and

they are cooking!!

Anyway, I want to be more active here and completely honest and offer what

support I can and learn from everyone here. Thanks for listening!

Welcome.  Glad to have you on board. Hope you do post more often and continue to read the messages.  It's nice to know you are getting strength from this site. I applaud you for doing so much work.  Give yourself a pat on the back.  It sounds as if you have had a really tough road.  I find it hard when I go out to eat too, which is quite frequently.  I too like to be at home and fix my own meals.  I guess you're right saying that then you are in control.  I never thought of it that way, but me too.  Besides, I like what I cook better than some of that food out there. I am somewhat of a fussy eater and can't tolerate spicy, seasoned foods. I'm just a good old " plain Jane " as far as food goes. Anyway keep in touch.  Sandy
