Guest guest Posted July 26, 2002 Report Share Posted July 26, 2002 Hi, Sandy. First of all, I want to tell you how very sorry I am that young Madison is going through all this. You, as a mother, must feel so overwhelmed and saddened to see your child so sick. I really empathize with you. I pray that your insurance co. covers the IVIG treatements. From what I hear, they really help. How much Pred. and Methx. is she taking?? Poor little thing. Welcome to our group and feel free to vent all you want. We're here to listen....

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 , My daughter doesn't chew well either..... so I've had to puree or mash almost everything. I don't know how I could live without my Oskar Jr. mini food processer. Katera likes pretty uniform consistency. I made a lot of little quiche or custard-type meals with egg and mashed cooked veggies, or canned pumpkin, cream, butter or oil. These can be all-in-one meals...... all the ingredients blended into one dish, cooked together.... which is helpful because then each bite is at pretty much the right ratio, so no worries if you can't get them to take the entire meal in one sitting. If I were you, I'd start cutting back on carbs now, too...... especially refined flour and other grain-based carbs. You can start getting her used to the cream and increasing other fats, mayo, oils, etc. in the two or three weeks prior to initiation. One thing..... acid reflux is a common problem on the diet. I see she's already taking Pepcid and Prilosec...... so does this mean she already has trouble with reflux? This could get worse on the diet, if so..... especially if they are starting her at a high ratio. Patti, mom to Katera, age 6 (almost 7), who lost her first top front tooth today..... former Keto Kid for over 2 years, currently on the SCDiet and doing better. We are thinking of starting the diet in Sept with my two year old daughter. We live in Richmond, Virginia. My daughter has a diagnosis of Lissencephaly and has been on seizure meds since she was three months old. We have tried a multitude of meds.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 Shanon, Welcome to the group! I hope the keto diet will be successful for you and your son. The diet can be difficult in the beginning... lots to learn. It sounds like you have made it through some pretty tough situations already in the past 10 years... I bet you will do well. I hope your book comes soon. It has so much information in it. Have you checked to see if your library has one that you can borrow until your copy arrives? My daughter started the diet in August. She is 7 yrs. old. We have had a wonderful experience with the diet. She is seizure free and med free. I'm glad you decided to try the diet and I'm glad you found this group. cammie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegetables can be either fresh or frozen.

This is true for out of season produce. My youngest son prefers his vegatables frozen. He eats them straight out of the freezer! Like popsicles!!! As long as he eats vegetables, I don't mind.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Hi, I wish the internet had been around back when I was younger. Then maybe I wouldn't have gotten so far into the binge/purge cycle or could have broken it sooner. It's good for you that you've learned about IE and want to have a better relationship with eating and food. I know eating what you feel to be too much is frightening, even when it isn't a binge. I try to look at every episode as a learning experience, and think of it as being that much closer to normalizing my eating patterns. You may find that letting go of obsessing over counting calories is very freeing, once you get over the shock of it. Welcome to the group! Sohni shanes744 wrote: Hi I just recently joined. I have been reading a little about intuitive eating online. I am desperate for something to help me out of the cycle of restricting/bingeing. I have always had some trouble with anxiety/depression.

I went through a few month period in high school of severe calorie restriction. My weight has fluctuated up and down throughout my four years of college. For about half of that time, I have been obsessed with counting calories. It has been a major obsession over the past year. I lost alot of weight really fast due to a stressful relationship about a year and a half ago and was dead set on keeping that weight off. Of course once the relationship and the stress went away, I naturally gained weight. I was so stressed about gaining weight that I got into a habit of restricting alot then bingeing. At first the bingeing didn't happen very often so I wasn't too worried about it. During the last fall semester it was becoming more frequent and I could tell I was gaining more weight. I moved home for a month over Christmas because I switched schools to start graduate school. While I was home I ate fairly normally (only a few very small binges) and lost a few pounds. Once again, I was determined to keep it off. I moved to this school in January and did well for about the first month. In this past month I have gotten so obsessed with dieting that the diet/binge cycle has gotten out of control. Usually I plan what I am going to eat and eat really healthy during the day but binge at night after dinner when I'm alone. Although I like it here, I think I have always had trouble with change and this is my way of trying to cope with the anxiety. I'm scared though because it has really gotten out of control. Yesterday I tried to put the practice of IE into practice. I waited until I was hungry to eat and ate exactly what I wanted. Although I had a strong urge to binge, I resisted it. I was doing good today until I was hungry and wanted cookies. I ate way too many but note enough to feel uncomfortably full. It makes me feel alot less anxious to be able to eat what I want to. Hopefully it stops the binges. Sorry for writing a novel...didn't mean to write that much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 Hi, Lynne, Welcome to our group! I know you'll find as much support and encouragement here as I have. Be gentle with yourself--this society teaches us just the opposite: to be stern and unforgiving of ourselves if we have failed in the past, and all of us dieters (or at least 99% of us) have failed over and over again. Now's the time for all of us to be gentle on ourselves, because we're going against the grain by giving up on diets. Take it easy. Take it slooooow. I'm realizing that in addition to developing a healthy relationship with food, I'm going to have to learn how to develop some coping skills I've never learned. I'm taking those on one by one. Take care--I look forward to hearing from you how it's going. All best, Laurie Lynne wrote: >>>Hello, Thank you for letting me join your group. I have spent most of my life significantly over weight.

Three cheers for you. You are taking the first step to begin a new exploration of what you want from life, along with taking care of your health. That's a success already. Kate Hello, Thank you for letting me join your group. I have spent most of my life significantly over weight. I first learned about what was called "Humming" in the 70's. My best friend lost 80 pounds following this plan. It was basically, eat what ever you want when ever you want and stop when you are satisfied. We both realized that diets don't work. For many reasons I did not loose weight even though I was the one who introduced this philosphy to her. While we were in nursing school, she gained back the 80 pounds and I just gained more weight. Once she gained the weight back we were back on the diet road without success. I am a compulsive emotional overeater. I have not wanted to deal with what bothers me. It could be anything.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Thanks , I am having SO much trouble seeing foods as bad or/and good. Like tonight I ate 3 cookies (I am trying to figure out why..but I think it was b/c they were there, they were delicious and my in-laws were over!!) ha... But man I felt SO guilty...guilty b/c I feel like I ate for non-hunger reasons. not b/c i ate cookies...guess that's a start though. thanks for the input, Jen > > Hi There, > Like you said the damage is done and the past is just that.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Welcome Lynne - looking forward to reading more from you. Sharing my worst and best days here really helped me along my own IE trail. Best to you, Katcha IEing since March 2007 > > Hi my name is Lynne. I am so glad to have found the Intuitive Eating book and this site.I have been on and off diets for 35 of my 49 year old life. I am tired of feeling bad about myself and my body. I have been using the principles of IE for about a week. Feel really good and sane for the first time in a long while. I will keep reading and sharing. Thanks so much to you all > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > i > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
