Re: first post...and introduction

[Guest guest]

Today I just finished reading Breaking Free from Compulsive Eating by Geneen Roth.  There were so many great points in the book...I highly recommend it!

 

Hi everyone!

I've been lurking around for awhile but have yet to post anything. Anyways I have beem following the IE lifestyle or trying to for a few months now. I have a long history of restricting my food and over exercising and that was usually followed by a period of binging and not moving at all. Two years ago I lost 80 pds but eating entirely too little and measuring/counting every little morsel of food that went in my mouth. I got so fed up that I finally had to stop...stop everything, and I promptly gained back 20 pds. So now I'm trying to get myself in the right mindset..but its hard to truly accept myself and not subconciosly count calories in my head. Every day is a struggle and I widh that it weren't afterall isn't that the point of IE to be a peacefull eater?

I'm not there yet but I have made strides and a few accomplishments that I am proud of. I learned that there comes a point in my eating that'll I will say to myslef...okay just one more really good bite/piece whatever it may be. But that one last bite always turns into three or four more. So if I stop when I get to that point I find I'm probably pretty satisfied and if I kept going I would be full.

My second thing that I am proud of is not eating something if it doesn't taste really good. The other day my husband brought home cookies, I took one and had a bite but it really want anything special..so I put it down.

Anyways just thought I would finally write and say hello! I hope to get to know a lot of you better!

Hi , Welcome. I think it's great how you experienced the cookie situation.

I think that's what we are all aiming for. I think the hardest part is to stop

" counting " and measuring yourself and success by how many pounds you weigh. Are

you able to toss out the scales? Or is that too difficult?
