Where are you on your IE journey?

[Guest guest]

I thought a good way to spark conversation here might be to introduce an IE

topic that all members could speak to. Viewing the IE process as a 'journey'

helped me to see that I didn't have to master all the principles at one time and

place. IE became more a return(ing) voyage to the starting point that I was born

with - responding to my body for its needs. And as much as I thought I had set

my IE GPS for that point, I've wandered allllll over the landscape and are still

on my way.

I'm currently at a lull place - not standing totally still, but not hot-to-go

either. I have recently caught myself back in the clean plate club! I do not

load my plate up - I have a decent idea about how much I need to eat. However I

find I am taking those last few bites and am ignoring the okay, that's enough

feedback that is there when I listen to it.

Perhaps part of this is a mild reaction to not being able eat exactly what I

want. I am self testing for gluten intolerance so my beloved baked goods are

out. I have bought a gluten free cook book for baking, made a few recipes which

are tasty enough, but just not the 'real' thing as I know them. Its a touch off

putting, but I do want to give this the best go I can - my body is happier for

it too.

Just another detour in my IE journey. Learning to appreciate the 'view' from

where ever I am on it too.
