Re: excited but really scared - help?

I can see what you are saying but if we worry about our weight then that is sort

of defeating the point of IE. I know that I am MUCH happier not worrying about

my weight and I definitely have a weight issue. But, I concentrate on other

things like being active everyday and eatting enough vegetables and fruits so

that I can be healthy. I try to only eat when I am hungry and then stop when I

am full. I believe that if everyone does that they do not have to worry about

their weight in order to lose weight. That is all I was saying. I understand

that losing weight is important but it shouldn't be in our mind...living a

healthy stress free lifestyle is what we need to concentrate on...and on how

beautiful we are with or without the extra weight. Alot of people...myself

included...speak about all the yummy food we get to eat but no one really talks

about eatting nutritional food. We have to remember that even though yes...we

can eat anything want...we still should eat some healthy food. I make sure to

eat two veges and one fruit everyday and to do some sort of exercise

everyday...and get plenty of sleep. I gained weight at first but I can tell it

is coming back off now that I give myself permission to eat what and when I

want...that doesn't mean that we should just eat all the time....that is just

what most of us did when we first started IE. Anyway, I guess what I am saying

is that if we concentrate on eatting healthy and staying active we will lose

weight but we can do that without actually thinking about our weight. Do you

agree?

Be blessed,
