Hello,

I am new to the group, but not to dieting. I am 57 years old and dieting

forever. Gained so much weight in the last few years. Yo Yo now it seems.

I seemed to be better described as an emotional eater I see.

2.4

EATING STYLE: Emotional Unconscious Eater

TRIGGER: Uncomfortable Emotions

CHARACTERISTIC: Stress or uncomfortable feelings

trigger eating -- especially when alone.

I hope I can learn to control this and finally get my eating under control so I

can finally lose and keep it off.

Betty

Welcome Ann. Its lovely to have a newbie that has done some IE work too. Yes

emotional eating is a toughie - wanting and hungering are very much alike -

trying to fill a need. Its so easy to translate that need into food. And its

also very rewarding when you do make a connection to the emotion instead of

eating it away. Looking forward to hearing more from you as you continue on your

IE journey.

BEST to you, Katcha

emotional unconscious eater and WAS a professional dieter. I was on weight

watchers on and off for years. I would loose weight and gain it back plus. I

recently decided to see a therapist that focuses on intuitive eating. It has

been challenging to learn how to tune into my body and eat only when i'm hungry

and stop when i'm full/comfortable. Since I am an emotional eater, it gets very

difficult to ignore the persistent " part " of myself that wants to eat and not

feel. I am very excited to be part of the group and connect with others that

are on the same path.
