Guest guest Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Thanks, Katcha, exactly. Shortly before I read a couple of IE books, I'd actually been thinking of buying a scale (I gave mine away about ten years ago and hadn't looked back til then). So glad I didn't! I gave in to the old temptation to weigh at the gym, but given what happened, hopefully won't repeat that one any time soon. Like with my food choices, I need my exercise to be about how I want to feel, sleep, what I want to be able to do, etc. and not about a stupid number on a scale. > > > > Really wanted to say worse than " darned " but didn't want to offend anyone :-) > > > > I'd been doing well with my beginning steps of this IE journey, and then for the last few weeks something went wrong.

And was happy because I hadn't gained weight, despite my having been eating previously " forbidden " foods. And then sure enough, that focus on the weight completely backfired on me. > > > > I am one who believes it's ok to hope for some weight loss as a result of IE. BUT, that doesn't mean it's ok to FOCUS on the weight (at least not for me). I need to focus on one moment at a time, being in touch with my physical body - what it wants and needs, how I can be most loving toward it. And let the weight take care of itself. > > > > Ahh. I've learned that before, but I forget! > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
