Guest guest Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Friends, I am really going out on a limb here to say that I have gone through the training to be an IE Counselor, I believe in the concepts and have even tried to coach others with them, but, I am really struggling personally with foods. So much that last night and all day today I have been sick due to food choices and bingeing. It was like that old way of thinking happened again, 'I have to get these foods out of my system and so if I eat them all at once then I will be able to let them go.' Crazy, crazy making way of thinking I know. I need to put this out there because I truly need a support system and some advice right now, I am so tired of living like this. I am typically a half-marathon runner and yet in this past year, in trying to adopt an IE lifestyle (but, truth be told - I failed at it!). I have now put on so many pounds that I have even lost my passion for running. On the high end of the scale I need to lose 60 lbs, and become fit once again, to be healthy and 80 lbs to be at my healthiest! I had a goal to do my first triathlon and can't believe it that rather than being closer, I am now so much further away from it. Do you have any suggestions how I might use this group as a support to get me going and sticking with it. I hope that I have finally 'hit bottom' and will find what I require in and through IE, I really don't want to live as someone who is addicted to food and join a food addicts group. My desire is to become a successful IE eater and help others to be so as well. God bless, Carolyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
