Guest guest Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Thank you, thank you--this is just what I need to hear. I was thinking this morning about my vision for myself in the future, and it most definitely does not include dieting, or even thinking about food all the time. I want to be making music, and making art, and gardening, and taking my dog running in the woods, and sharing meals with family and friends, and nowhere in there is obsessing about food. So it's really good to hear that even though I may be struggling now, that I may come to the point where I " get it " . It makes so much sense to me to listen to my body, and I can tell how stress interferes with that. Also this morning, while I was walking my dog-- of my favorite times of day--I was thinking about how I really need to find a yoga class. I have been wanting to start doing yoga again, because of how it really helps me connect with my body, but I haven't been able to get around to doing it on my own, and a class might help. I would also probably benefit from meditating as well, though running used to be my meditation, and since I can't run any more because of my heels I'm really missing it. My stress mostly has to do with my son who is floundering at the moment, and while there are some definite things I can do to help, much of it is out of my control, and I just have to let him be. He's 19, and needs to be doing things for himself. Sigh. But I really do have a vision of myself as a healthy person, and I will keep listening, as best I can. Thanks again.

I know that embracing an Intuitive way of eating is what I absolutely have to do, yet I don't see how it's ever going to move me back to the healthy adult weight I maintained for the first decade of my adult life, and maintained for at least five years after losing a bunch of weight when I finally got over my husband leaving, all without any thought or effort on my part, but I can't even imagine restricting, because I know I can't do it, and I know that it's ultimately counterproductive but I feel like I have to DO something. But what? > > > > Sigh..... > > > > Tilley > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
