Re: Food is becoming nothing more.

Oh, , I'm so happy for you! I know that feeling--the first time ever it feels just like nourishment, and not like the center of your universe! Time to celebrate by doing something really special for yourself.

All best,

Laurie

Food is becoming nothing more.

Good morning.

I am happy to report that this morning I ate something and ate until satisfied. Normally, I would be thinking about my next meal. This time I went on my merry way and forgot about food! This is a huge step for me in this process as I have been overweight since I was about 6. I am 34 now.

Thanks for the support! I love having this group.

Simply AWESOME! I'm so happy for you. I stand with you in recognizing what a

huge step that is in your life.

Honoring my hunger was relatively easy. Respecting my fullness didn't really

come online until this year. I had a very difficult time with letting go of my

eating experiences. I also started using food around that age and have been

overweight my entire life...I'm 33.

In February of this year, I wrote a post on the IE Long Haul group indicating a

similar understanding after skimming through Bacon's book, Health at Every

Size. I skimmed because much of what was in that book, I had covered in IE or

WWSHTB. , like many others on the IE path, talk about finally arriving in a

wonderful land where you only think of food when you're hungry. I am

constructing a home in that land and I will make it my permanent residence! I

look forward to all of us being neighbors.

Rock on!

Having this online support for most of my IE journey has been invaluable. It

brings me a lot of joy to participate in a large community of people making the

effort and taking the time to create a more caring relationship with their

bodies.

Big hug to you too!
