Hi Everyone!

I'm Caroline, 30yo, full time student. After privately struggling with an

eating disorder for most of my life, I recently sought treatment and my

therapist suggested I try Intuitive Eating. I have a horrible history of

dieting and then rebelling, so this is a whole new train of thought for me.

I've been trying it for a couple months, but feel a bit lost in my journey.

Unfortunately being a student means low funds, so I can't see my therapist for a

few weeks, so I am so glad to have found this group to get some support. I have

put on quite a bit of weight since starting this new chapter of my life, and it

is taking a toll on me mentally. I'm trying very hard to recognize and

appreciate the good changes in my life, instead of focusing on the negative.

I'm hoping things will balance out over time. Plus I need to keep reminding

myself I'm very new to this, and permanent change takes time! Anyway, I'm happy

to be here and I think having others to talk to will keep me more hopeful. I

look forward to getting to know you guys!

Caroline
