Re: Re: Dumping Diet Mentality

Katcha- Thank you. I've still been using the 'lose weight' words, but what I mean, is it's hard to tie my shoes, or getting on the floor with my kids is difficult and I feel uncomfortable. I like this way of looking at it because I've been fighting the other words and feeling the anti-ie of them, but still feeling the need for changes because activites can be so difficult at my current body shape/size. Your words help remove the negativity. Dawn R To: IntuitiveEating_Support Sent: Wed, March 23, 2011 2:04:03 AMSubject: Re: Dumping Diet Mentality

I love this! And needed it. Thank you.
