Previous success with IE, but regained weight?

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone!

I'm new to this group, but I am quite familiar with intuitive eating. One of my

favorite books is " The Overfed Head " by Rob s. Six years ago I was very

successful with intuitive eating and the tips outlined in this book. I had lost

25-30 pounds and was back to a size 6! I felt great, and was able to keep the

weight off for about a year, and I NEVER felt deprived. But some how, I started

gaining the weight back. And I very quickly lost touch with my " thintuition " as

Rob s calls the ability to know when you are physically hungry vs. having

the desire to eat for other reasons.

Has anyone else had previous success with IE but gained the weight back? I try

sooo hard to get back in touch with physical hunger cues, but I've found that I

am a " distracted unconcious eater. " I eat sooo fast, that after I've finished, I

realized I didn't enjoy any of what I ate and then I eat more. This is

especially true of desserts!!

Thank you and can't wait to hear from you all!
