Guest guest Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Hi, everyone! I've actually been a member of this group for a couple of months now, I just never introduced myself. I'm sorry about that, but I was shy. I LOVE reading what you all have to say every day. I feel that this group has been very helpful to me. I am 21 years old, happily married, and have stuggled with food for years. My journey with intuitive eating started my first year of college. I went to my first counseling session at the health center, and I immediately told the counselor that I had issues with food and that I was on a diet. She said, " First of all, NEVER diet again. Second of all, get the book 'Intuitive Eating.' " So I did. But for some reason, it just didn't click for me at that time. Fast forward 3 years (to this spring), and out of nowhere I stop gaining weight. (I had been gaining weight steadily for 4 years.) I was curious, so I thought about it. All of a sudden, I realized that I had been eating intuitively! I had " given up " on diets, and I was eating whatever I wanted. Essentially, all I needed to do to get it was give up (on all the things I thought I needed to believe in). That's what I LOVE about intuitive eating. It's not about control, it's not about " willpower " or being " on " or " off " of a program. I love that for the first time in my life I feel like I simply can't fail. Because this truly is a JOURNEY. Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
