Guest guest Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Hi everyone! Thanks for all your posts. They are at once revealing, heartening, informative and inspiring. This journey can feel really " loose " compared to dieting and I think it helps immensely to have some extra guidance. I have been living IE for 2 months. I am finding that I still want primarily " treat " foods like queso, cookies, pasta, baked potatoes, etc. There have been a few times that I have gravitated towards healthy foods but I still seem to be greedily choosing foods which I feel I deserve to eat. Is this normal after a lifetime of dieting? Should I just enjoy/indulge this part of the journey until I feel more relaxed and less grasping about food? I am doing okay at not guilting myself but I feel an intense need to control my behavior. I was put on a medical diet at the age of 9. I was not obese and was barely overweight. I was taught early that I could not be trusted around food. I am now 100 pounds overweight. Do you have any advice to increase feelings of trust and self-confidence?
