Yay! Go jeanne!

That's so great to read!

 

, you know, I'm kinda clueless on my weight set point also.  I've been on my IE journey for about 3 months now after many, many years of struggle with eating and weight issues.  I hereby declare surrender; I give up the fight; I've had enough!  The body rules from now!

Thanks, Abby! It has taken me over 40 years to finally throw in the towel! That post was such a relief to write!

All the best,

this is a big one for me. I have been working towards eating normally for the apst 18 months. I have come sooooo far. I am now eating regularly and have not restriced or binged for ages. For me the difficulty is being able to deal with the body image stuff and get rid of the desire to loose weight. I have been a passionate runner and loved marathons BUT it went from something I loved to something that was triggering my E.D thoughts. I have stopped running but would love to do it again. I don't think this can happen until I can come to terms with "this might be me set point weight" and how I look. I am now 20kg heavier than when anorexia was there and I am now much happier and healthier, but can't seem to let go of the "hate" of my body and

secret wish to be thin.

Hmmm so complicated

Hi,

I started walking and jogging again finally because I purposely took three months off to get away from using exercise as weight loss. My first walk, purely for fitness at any size, was a joy because it was pleasurable to feel the sensations of body movement without thought to calorie count, or pressure of need to lose weight. Since that walk, I've jogged three times and walked once, and I can very, very happily say that I have managed to totally disconnect weight loss from my activity; that my motivations are heart health and basic fitness of muscles and skeletal system, etc.

Previously, if I'd been exercising, I'd start to restrict foods and I'm not doing that.

I have apple pie, reeses p.b. cups, almond cream cake, grapefruit, lowfat yogurt and whole grain granola, lots of spinach and low fat cheese. So what I'm doing is my best to never restrict anything, but to also have lots of options to choose from; I'm aiming for variety.

Health At Any Size sounds like a great book that I'd like to read.

Hi ,There's no reason why you can't continue with running and lifting weights if you enjoy that. You may feel a lot better if you're fit, no matter what your weight is.
