Guest guest Posted June 17, 1999 Report Share Posted June 17, 1999 > The little turkey bit me and then let go so I didn't even have time to pull >him against my breast and all I could do was cry because I could just see >nursing ending very soon. Any suggestions would be great. I did take him >away and not let him have any more milk for a while. , did this very same thing to me. He thought it was the funniest thing, and apparently loved the reaction it got from me. He did it more than once. The next time I had him on my lap, I talked at length about " teeth " and made sure that I touched his teeth with my finger when I said " teeth. " I also made sure I had things handy that I wanted him to bite on, like food. I bared my teeth to him frequently and said, " bite " while I showed him how I bite. I would bite on a carrot, then ask him to bite on it. What a great game, he thought. Then I offered to nurse him, and even though he didn't bite, I took *that* opportunity to discourage that he does " NOT bite -- NO teeth " on my nipple. He practiced putting his teeth against my nipples and then would shake his head " no. " He fully understood. However, he did bite me once or twice after this, sort of to test me to see if I really meant " no. " When I reinforced my " no " and ended that nursing session with more discussion of " teeth " and " bite " the biting ended fairly quickly too. At least it ended much quicker than I could have dried up (days vs. weeks). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2002 Report Share Posted April 28, 2002 Hi Jenn, YES, I absolutely agree! I'm having a nice time here in Japan. Only, the land and of course the houses here are sooo expensive. ( We've been saving since we got married but don't have yet the courage to buy our own place. I think it would be more affordable for us if we buy a condo in the future but my heart is set on a house...even a tiny one will do just as long I have a tiny garden as well. Oh well... You're bedroom must look so nice and relaxing as well. Japanese-style room always makes me feel less tense, especially if the floor is made of tatami (Japanese straw mat used as a flooring). I like the feel and the smell of the tatami. Margot -- Re: Hello!

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2002 Report Share Posted April 28, 2002 Hi Margot, WW wants you to drink 6 glasses of water a day, but I aim for 8. It is really important that you drink water each day for your weight loss. I know that when I drink less than 6, it really slows my weight loss down. ~Pepper -- Re: Hello!

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2002 Report Share Posted April 28, 2002 I agree with Maureen & I try to drink 1-2 glasses of water before each meal. ~Pepper -- Re: Re: Hello!

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2002 Report Share Posted April 29, 2002 Hi Margot. I read somewhere that you should drink half your body weight in ounces. For me, I'm at 199, so I try to drink 100 ounces per day. Every one is different though. Maggie Re: Hello! Welcome to the group Margot!!

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 Hey ! Tell your hubby congrats! Yeah, my mom put it that I had lost a 3rd grader! LOL!! You hang in there with the insurance! I hope that it gets approved and that next year you will be on the Post-op train! I don't regret it for a minute! As far as my workout goes.. I work out at the Y in my town.. the reason being is because I LOVE to swim and it really is so gentle on the joints. I have been doing a Deep Water Aerobics class 2 times a week.. and was doing the Ellipticals 1x a week.. and now I am adding in 2 more elliptical days.. I enjoy the knowledge that the Y staff has, and the fact that I can do so many different types of exercise and not get bored.. a big problem for me.. And I am lucky too.. I have thick hair as well.. and it's really not showing that it's thinning.. it's just that it feels thinner.. It could be worse!

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 I'm no expert on the lifestyle of an IE-er as I've only been doing it myself a little while. But, I'd sure be available for you if you ever want to talk. I'm a 49 year old mother of 22 year old and almost 17 year old daughters. I went through a period with my cousin when she had an eating disorder (anorexia nervosa) and, of course, my compulsive overeating is an eating disorder. So if you need a listening ear, I'm here for ya!  Blessings, Sharon   Hello everyone! I am a 20 year old girl recovering from an eating disorder and have been trying to the intuitive eating approach for about 2 months now. I would love to find a support buddy to talk to and email and just help through the ups and downs of relearning how to eat like we were made to. Let me know if you would like to be that person and I would absolutely love to talk to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Welcome and I think you will find that this entire group can be that 'buddy' that you seek. You will find that you relate to some and not others, but that's OK Plus a wider range of feedback offers you more options to chose from than relying on a person or two. Keep posting and do speak up on what your needs and concerns are. Best to you, Katcha IEing since March 2007 > > Hello everyone!
