Guest guest Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Hi to everyone. My name is Val. I have just finished reading IE and am very excited about it. I have spent most of my adult life yo-yo-ing and now am at the heaviest I have ever been. Even though I know something has to be done about this, the thought of another diet actually made me cry. I have worked with trainers, nutritionists, and done every diet program ever. I am very good at losing weight, just not good at keeping it off. IE was recommended to me as the way to go. I am struggling right now with guilt about not dieting and getting the weight off fast (even though I know I won't keep it off if I do). I look forward to getting support on my journey and am glad I found this froup. Val Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Hello Val, I am in the process of reading Intuitive Eating, and can identify with so much that you've said....having spent my life alternately starving myself and binging, being at the heaviest I've been, crying at the thought of another diet, worked with nutritionists and trainers, done many kinds of diets. A couple of years ago I was featured in a magazine article where they gave us prepared food and a trainer 3 times a week. I lost 40 pounds. Now, much to my dismay, I've gained most of it back, something I said I'd never do. All I can do is to try and normalize my eating. This website is a valuable support for me because I know I'm not out here all by myself trying to do this. Everyone on this boad has been real supportive and given good feedback. So I'm glad you're here to walk the walk with us. Sara > > Hi to everyone. My name is Val. I have just finished reading IE and am very excited about it.

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Welcome Val. You said a mouthful with " I am very good at losing weight, just not good at keeping it off. " That's the rub, isn't it? I used to be good at losing weight, then even that got harder. Eventually I had to do really strict diets in order to stay on them; where the rules were black and white. Now, with IT I am finding peace with food and with all of that diet information that I've taken in over the years. Glad you're here, keep reading and keep posting. Sandarah > > Hi to everyone.
