I began this path about almost a year ago exactly. I began with several visits

to a nutritionist, not knowing anything about IE or that she worked with people

with eating disorders. I went to her because I wanted to find out what I really

did need to eat, but it was a bonus that she was so familiar with eating issues.

I will tell you that was a tremendous beginning for me. My body was so out of

whack from alternately restricting and binging and a lifetime of emotional

eating of junk, that I didn't know where to start. So I began by using some

loose nutritional guidelines that gave me plenty of choice to eat what I wanted.

I then began doing a lot of reading, and ended up contacting a LCSW who has

recovered from eating issues herself. At this point, I will say it has been well

worth the money. She has given me a ton of ideas, but it's me that has to do the

work....

Be ready to immerse yourself in recovering-it takes every bit as much work as

dieting, but in a different direction of growth and healing. For me, it's meant

learning to take care of myself (which I'm still working to do) and has taken a

year of lookiing at why I'm eating as others who replied to you have suggested.

I read EVERY day from one of several books, participate in a couple of yahoo

groups, listen to CDs every time I get in my car.

After a year, I no longer feel the need to binge, I can walk past junk food in

the grocery and have no desire to bring it home. I have begun to crave whole,

healthy foods when I am hungry. I'm working on exercise, and having balance in

my life between personal/work. Some days, I now realize, Oh, I haven't had any

sugar today, when my main food substance has been sugar for most of my life.

That's as much as I can tell you...It remains to be seen what happens from here,

but I have hope, strong hope, that this will work for me as far as weight, but

it has already improved my life.
