Re: first post...and introduction

Have not been able to toss the scale..I weigh myself so many times a day its

embarassing! This weekend has not been good..weekends are challenging anyways,

but we had a lot of bbq's this weekend and I really lost control and now I am

here feeling depressed and sick! Ugh! This really has to be the one thing that

works! Have you guys mastered the whole body acceptance thing yet? If so, how

did you manage? I can follow the ie principles, but in the back of my head it is

simply not okay if I stay at this weight!

Thanks for all the respopnses! You all have given me some great insight!

have beem following the IE lifestyle or trying to for a few months now. I have a

long history of restricting my food and over exercising and that was usually

followed by a period of binging and not moving at all. Two years ago I lost 80

pds but eating entirely too little and measuring/counting every little morsel of

food that went in my mouth. I got so fed up that I finally had to stop...stop

everything, and I promptly gained back 20 pds. So now I'm trying to get myself

in the right mindset..but its hard to truly accept myself and not subconciosly

count calories in my head. Every day is a struggle and I widh that it weren't

afterall isn't that the point of IE to be a peacefull eater?

am proud of. I learned that there comes a point in my eating that'll I will say

to myslef...okay just one more really good bite/piece whatever it may be. But

that one last bite always turns into three or four more. So if I stop when I get

to that point I find I'm probably pretty satisfied and if I kept going I would

be full.

taste really good. The other day my husband brought home cookies, I took one and

had a bite but it really want anything special..so I put it down.
