Re: has anyone lost weight on here?

" Choose life over food. " <--I love that. Its so true. If I examine why the IE

process is not going " fast " or " linear " enough for me I find that its because

yes, food is still more important than most other things in my life. Its not

just food to me still; it means so much more (emotional outlet, friend,

comforter, companion, stress/boredom reliever). I'm in therapy now to address

some of the issues behind the emotional eating, so in time I hope I too can

" choose life over food. " It sounds like IE has been a great success in your life

and very happy for you! thanks for this

I think you're right, i am definitely guilty of expecting IE to be some sort of

diet miracle instead of a life change that will yield emotional, mental,

spiritual, and lastly physical improvements in the long run.

I know for me it's really easy to slip into that "diet" mentality, so I

have to try not to have "expectations." My focus is to learn how to

look at food for what it is--neither friend nor enemy.
