Guest guest Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Hi, Katrina, I can relate to what you are saying. I think it is hard for those of us who have begun one diet after another, not to get sucked into thinking of this as another diet--that we can lose weight fast and be happy and live completely fulfilled lives because of eating this way. I think what got me into trouble with diets (besides that they just don't work) was that I was putting too much onto what the diets promised: being thin. Being thin is no guarantee that life won't be stressful and we won't face challenges. Even eating intuitively can't give us solutions to everything (like a hectic job). I think for me the key is to eat intuitively, but also address the other issues I used to try (in vain) to solve with food. I was just thinking this on my way this morning to my own stressful job. All best, Laurie Katrina wrote: >>>The first week I began Intuitive eating, I felt completely refreshed and so hopeful. Then I bought more books on the subject and got sucked in to diets in disguise: only eat what your great grandmother would have, eat only three meals a day, etc. I am trying to re-trust my body and it is hard. Plus my hectic job seems to be getting in my day. I want to banish the scale forever but am afraid that if I do, I will return to my all time high weight. Isn't what matters is how I feel and how I feel in my body? Of course but the number still holds so much power. Why? I was hoping to find a few people to reach out to. Thank you, Katrina<<< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
