I'd be so interested. And if Portland was the place, I happen to have some really awesome hotel connections in the Beaverton area (Southwest Portland)

Sandarah, you sound like someone after my own heart ;-) Just wanted to clarify that my (self desired) 'sabbatical' from this group was after about 3+ years of active participation. I felt that I had slipped into (outward) 'caretaker' mode and needed to turn those energies onto and for my own benefit which I had placed second to the group too often. My own 'dream' for in life IE participation would be a get together for a workshop on practices like mindful eating. Would be challenging to set up, but oh the possibilities of advancement along a most difficult aspect habit changing. I'm just south of the Oregon border (northernmost California) and would be quite interested to see how many here would be interested and/or could 'hub' in a place like Portland OR? Katcha

Nothing formal but a breakfast every so often might be good. Fortunately (or not) I'm old enough and iconoclast enough I don't need a lot of social support for this, but an IE breakfast is an intriguing idea... > > Right now, I'm trying to figure out how much EXternal input is too much. I too feel the need to go solo a bit - and yet am fearful that going solo will mean going back to where I was before I got started with IE - awash in my diet rebel, diet police stuff. It's a balancing act... Sandarah > ------------------------------------
