Guest guest Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Hi everyone, I'm Jen and I just joined today. I've struggled with my weight since I was 12 and always been on some sort of restricted diet (WW, low-carb, etc). I'm 35 now with a 3 year old son. I'm so glad to have read the Intuitive Eating book as well as Geneen Roth's book about emotional eating. I've been on IE for about 3 weeks now. I like it very much. But...I'm stuck with a couple things. 1. I'm not eating super healthy b/c I'm eating what I want. So fruits and vegetables are really minimal. Do you guys think i will eventually get to a point where i crave healthier foods? 2. One thing I struggle with understanding in IE is say a person gained some weight (or is overweight) and yet they never went on a restricted typical diet. How would IE say to help that person lose weight if they actually never were on a diet? I feel like so much of the plan is geared around un-doing damage that a diet did. But what then? What happens when the diet damage is done? Is it just mindful eating and trying to not overeat or eat for emotional reasons that helps people lose weight? thanks!!
