Guest guest Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Hope that the day is going better for you! I am in my 5th month of IE and it is still a struggle every day, but so worth it...whether or not I have lost weight yet, I feel so much better about myself. Stay with it and peace will come! And I do believe that eventually, weight will return to a healthy natural weight. Sue Having a hard time today, on verge of a binge, but think I caught it in time. Weighed at drs. yesterday and in one month didn't lose even an ounce. I know I've been eating less and no binges, so this was really discouraging.I KNOW the #s aren't important but it's hard to disregard them.My weight is quite high and I worry about health issues. Will avoid the scale, and try to stay on track. Ugh. Welcome to all the new people. This is a wonderful oasis. -- Sue on FritzCheck out my blogs at: http://alifeofbooks.blogspot.com/http://suesresearch.blogspot.com http://suesretirementmusings.blogspot.com/Check out my books on Goodreads: < Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Good for you, Virginia, for catching the binge and stopping it! Remember that even if you overindulged, you just need to wait until you're hungry to eat again and be back on track. I know how discouraging it feels to step on the scale after you think you've been doing so well, only to see the number hasn't budged. It's hard not to keep seeing the weight loss as the ultimate goal, very scary, too, but that's where I think we all need to trend. Not sure if I can do that, but I'm still trying, too. Hang in there!

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I found something out last night while in Yoga. If my mind would just shut up I wouldnt have an eating problem. My mind has controlled me for so long that I can't even figure out what it is that I am hungry for. When I am trying to do this my mind is going and throws things out randomly and of course it is always the bad stuff and an abundance with justification all rolled into one. I was in Yoga trying to focus on my breathing and my mind kept wondering off to food and what I was going to eat when I got finished with Yoga. I finally told my brain to shut up. It sort of worked but I need to keep doing thisTo: IntuitiveEating_Support Sent: Thu, August 26, 2010 1:02:33 PMSubject: Weight issue Having a hard time today, on verge of a binge, but think I caught it in time.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 This is so true! Most of us really live inside our heads so we forget about our bodies and focus only on thoughts. Maybe I should try telling myself ok I hear that you want ice cream but sorry. Our minds are like small children sometimes. My coach says that if we treat ourselves with respect and in a loving manner that eventually we won't need food to fill ourselves up. I found something out last night while in Yoga.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Nice ideas, everyone, thanks! Today I was hungry with an hour before lunch, and I gently reminded myself that it was okay to feel hungry for a little while, that food was on its way. Just soothing and kind...that's the only self talk that works for me...negative self talk just makes me anxious and miserable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
