Guest guest Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Thank you so much for the warm welcome. I will definitely be picking up some books when I get paid next. You know, I am glad I am dealing this when I younger. The problem mainly is, is that I am a serious emotional eater. I have been through a lot of trauma in my life. Originally, I gained weight on purpose so I wouldn't be "pretty" anymore thinking that would keep me safe. I have discovered that didn't work. I am eager to heal mind, body, and spirit.

Do give a look at the Book list in the Files section and post away anything that comes to you related to IE in your life. Being younger should make it easier for you since you have less years of baggage - LOL!! But it also seems that you get quite a bit of 'peer pressure' (aka diet mentality) which is a huge front to fight too. You are right - IE is a 'natural' way to live - honored to be along for your IE journey too.BEST to you, KatchaIEing since March 2007>> Hello everyone!> > My name is Celeste.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Celeste (and others), I use a great web site called Paperback Swap where books are FREE. The only cost involved is shipping, media mail, which is paid by the sending member to the requester. You must list books you are willing to send on before you can begin receiving. But I have to say its a great alternative to buying used! Of course there is always libraries where the only cost is getting there and returning the book.
