Guest guest Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Hello all! My name is Carmin, and I have just discovered Intuitive Eating. I've hit my rock-bottom (again), and so I was searching for some support. I came across the book title while looking at the local hospital websites. Both hospital systems in my town have groups or programs using the book. Since none of their times would be convenient for me and my family, I figured I could at least get the book and start it myself. After only a few chapters I am amazed to find that I am not the only person with all of these quirky eating behaviors! I was on the verge of tears all day yesterday thanks to that realization. I look forward to finding the light at the end of my dieting tunnel! About me... I am a 36 y/o stay at home mom to 2 boys, ages 6 and 3. I am a registered nurse, but quit working due to some health issues. I live in the Des Moines, IA metro area, currently we are getting a fresh batch of snow. I have been battling my weight since about 3rd grade. I was a very skinny, picky eater to begin with, which caused much strife in my family, and when I discovered foods I liked I overate to get the approval that I could never achieve before. And that cycle stuck. As I reached my teens, I started dieting because by that point I was too heavy, which resulted in new aspirations and desires for approval. I managed to lose weight for the first time between my sophomore and junior years in high school, and kept it off until college. Then the dieting adventure really began! Now I hope to let that all go and find my way into Intuitive Eating. Thank you for letting me join your group! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
