Guest guest Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 You know, that's what I was thinking, and then in the next second I read your last couple of sentences.I'm not reading a book, myself. It would put too much focus on food, where want to take my focus off it. Like trying not to think about a rhinoceros. Diets are complicated; I don't want *not* dieting to be complicated, too. Ellie Anyway, how have others done integrating the principles of various non-diet books and which parts have you found most useful and why? I just wonder if I'm not making this too complicated.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 I don't think of reading these books as complicated at all, merely as reminding me of what I once knew, but somehow seem to forget. I don't study them every night, but it's so easy to forget about things. I like reminders about other things that are important in my life too...... > > You know, that's what I was thinking, and then in the next second I read your last couple of sentences. > > I'm not reading a book, myself.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Sandarah, In my opinion, the books all say the same thing in different ways. A number of books have been suggested to me, and I'm reading them all, over and over. It sinks into my brain better if I hear the same thing repeatedly in different ways. I make sure I read something related to IE every day, whatever I feel the need to read. Authors: Geneen Roth, Koenig, Fain, plus the IE book. Koenig has a workbook re. learning about feelings and how you eat in response to them with a correlating yahoo group where people work through each chapter and then post responses, similar to this one but a little deeper into feelings-related stuff. Geneen Roth has CDs, a number of them, which I keep in my car because I spend a lot of time there, and listening to those constantly (for now, anyway) helps to keep it fresh in my mind. I was able to find some for much less on Amazon. All of this has been extremely helpful to me. PS. For the last 2 days, I'm really proud of how well I've done throughout the entire day, and the great thing is I'm no longer thinking of food constantly. It no longer screams at me to eat it. Hooray! Sara > > I've been buying and reading various IE or non-diet books that people have recommended here for a while.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Something else....For me, I'm finding I spend a LOT of time on reading, and writing. But I feel I need to in order to change life-long habits. It's been more of a focus on behaviors around foods and looking at what's behind my eating when I'm not hungry, not actually a focus on food per se. Hopefully, I won't always have to do this. Hope this helps! > > I've been buying and reading various IE or non-diet books that people have recommended here for a while.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 I've read many of the Geenen Roth books several years back getting the concept of not dieting from these, but unable to utilize her 'style'/suggestions. I was given Un-Dieting when I first joined this group finding it to be a good basic concept to begin with, but rather heavy on emotional 'stuff' later. Even though I read IE before I read Overcoming Overeating, I preferred the simpler style of OO. I'm sure I got something from each of these, and like Sara also said - they are pretty much the same thing said in a different way. Over all I have gotten more from this group because it cycles thru concepts, presenting alternative options and supporting my own efforts too. Maybe you could present a few of the Q & As off and on as topic starters? I know I can hear the same thing several times and then - bingo! - one time it clicks and makes total sense.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Much food for thought here... Even though it's important to keep it simple, this is just a time when I'm ready to dive a bit deeper into my process around food and so am reading, nibbling, at a lot of books. Just started reading at " The Gift of our Compulsions " . Looks interesting as well. Kinda Zen, I think. Today's a snow day and a holiday, so to " entertain " myself I did a collage re me and food. The result was very telling and actually quite emotional. I'd recommend doing a collage as a way of non-linear processing around food/eating, et al. It can be very eye-opening. By the way, in response to something I read yesterday, I weighed myself. Since I lie to myself so often about what I weigh, I can only estimate my weight upon joining IE within 5 pounds give or take. So, the net result after the first five months of floundering with no-rules and thinking that I would eat until I explosed - I've either gained six pounds, or lost one. It's amazing that I'm so out of touch with what I weigh. Just last week or so I went out and bought fat pants thinking I'd probably gained twenty pounds, though determined not to let that daunt me in my process. But that was apparently just bloat based on eating foods that do not honor my body in my diet backlash. I've probably tried to diet my way through every holiday season of my life, so this year facing food without a net was a bit of a challenge. But here again, if weight loss is the goal, then the path is a diet and not a healing process around eating. I don't want to treat myself the way I have all these years by trying to override my body's natural wisdom and by fixating on how I should look. My goal is to heal from deprivation and control as well as unearth the normal eater within. I know she's there somewhere.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I haven't weighed myself in three months, and now i am just as scared to weigh myself as i was to not weigh myself when i stopped. I am sure that i have gained over ten pounds. But i still think i won't do it. I want to concentrate on feeling my best.

Just last week or so I went out and bought fat pants thinking I'd probably gained twenty pounds, though determined not to let that daunt me in my process. But that was apparently just bloat based on eating foods that do not honor my body in my diet backlash. I've probably tried to diet my way through every holiday season of my life, so this year facing food without a net was a bit of a challenge. > > But here again, if weight loss is the goal, then the path is a diet and not a healing process around eating. I don't want to treat myself the way I have all these years by trying to override my body's natural wisdom and by fixating on how I should look. My goal is to heal from deprivation and control as well as unearth the normal eater within. I know she's there somewhere. > > Sandarah > > > > > > > > > > > > > I've been buying and reading various IE or non-diet books that people have recommended here for a while.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I don't recommend weighing and think it wasn't a good choice, but somehow it was an interesting reality check on my distorted sense of body.
