Thank you so much for this posting!  It was very helpful for me.  I need reminders every so often!Sue

 

Hello Sorry if I repeat anything already posted. When we start to IE we have to let go of weight issues. Which can be extremely hard to do, weigh gain may occur as we travel through the healing process presented by IE. Having the courage to allow weigh gain means taking a deep breath & accepting that it may happen. In theory, health matters not stopping, weight loss & a natural body weight should resume.

If you return to calories then you will indeed tie yourself tighter into a diet mind trap, which is what your trying to move away from. Your also looking at food as good or bad, try to see it as simply food. It is the thoughts you have about the food which are good or bad.

As you have allowed IE into your life your mind will wish to take pleasure from what it has been denied or told was off limits, like a child in a sweet shop. If you say no, it will rebel & make you unhappy. Your fears at present stem from being stuck between the new way & the old way, have faith that eating what you are is part of the process. Believe me you will tire of such foods because of habituation, just allow the process to take place.

You can use each & every occasion to be mindful, eat till your full & enjoy what your eating, in time you will find that your body demands more variety. Let go of the reigns some more. Pam
