"My whole life, exercise was part of the penance I was paying in order to expiate the sin of fatness. When I started down the IE path about 5 years ago, I went through a 2-year exercise strike. I abjectly *REFUSED* to do anything more…"

Welcome! Hope to get to know you better and accompany each other on our IE…"
Mary B replied to Elsa Peach's discussion Exercise"I have a lot of friends who are physically disabled, for example with MS, strokes, etc. My friend who is has MS often says to me, "I don't understand why able-bodied people don't exercise and take better care of their bodies. I wish I…"
Katcha - IEing since March 2007 replied to Loz's discussion Hello from Scotland"Welcome Loz. As a dedicated do-it-yourslef-er myself, I was unhappy to find that doing IE solo just wasn't going to be within my abilities. It took me joining an online group like this one to find the encouragement, hints and companionship that…"
Katcha - IEing since March 2007 replied to Annaloes Hope's discussion Two things that are helping"Welcome Loz. I too have a BIG rebel against rules that I deep down feel work against me instead of for my benefit. IE has released me from the war I had been encouraged to be in with myself. That's freedom of the most meaningful and sweetest…"
Katcha - IEing since March 2007 replied to Jamie's discussion I listened to the voice in my head!"Fabulous event for you Jamie! Isn't it amazing that not only can you do this, but the pleasant surprise of pleasure that you can get from simply eating. Thanks for sharing this and reminding me of this small but very meaningful step on…"
Katcha - IEing since March 2007 replied to Jamie's discussion Interesting about hunger and what I want"Jamie I use a database app on my tablet to help be 'know' what is in my freezer! I list the item's name, date it got frozen, how many (if I bought several chicken breasts) and hint as to where I stashed it (I have plastic baskets to…"
Katcha - IEing since March 2007 replied to Palestrina's discussion Stress and binging"It seems that along with perfectionist type of thinking, an expectation of being 'perfect' (ourselves - body and mind too). As others have mentioned as well, I'm mainly a nose-to-grindstone type, very loth to stop until whatever I am…"
Katcha - IEing since March 2007 replied to Elsa Peach's discussion Exercise"I've long had a hard spot in my head for 'exercise' which I confirm for myself the few times I decided to 'do it'. My main reason is that I'm really quite an active person to begin with and prefer to get my…"
Loz posted a discussionHello from Scotland
Hello, I have posted a few replies now but realised I haven't introduced myself yet, sorry about that!I am half way through the book (IE - it is long!) and I am loving it. I stopped 'dieting' at the start of February so have been trying this for a month so far. I haven't weighed myself all month and that is a huge change, I weighed myself nearly daily through the whole of January. I am not considered overweight for my height, however, that doesn't mean to say I don't have issues with my weight.…See More
Loz replied to Annaloes Hope's discussion Two things that are helping"I am in a similar position to you Annaloes and am doing what you talk about. I have also read Gillian Riley's book but I have to say that IE is helping me WAY more. I didn't really like the times and plans suggestion of Gillian's…"
Loz replied to Annaloes Hope's discussion Two things that are helping"I'm interested to know what this is as I'm Scottish and I don't know!!! We make Scones and we make oat cakes but not oat scones. Can you post a recipe?"
Jen V replied to Jen V's discussion Anyone experiencing emotional overload/agitation once food no longer has magical powers and is practicing IE?"Cari -
Thanks to the nod to neuroplasticity of the brain. I think of it when I meditate (proven studies) but somehow it escaped me in terms of rewriting my response to rumination on old trauma/processing new trauma. This is the way to my…"
Cari Corbet-Owen replied to Jamie's discussion I don't have the confidence and I am scared/binging at the same time every day!"Hi Jamie - well done - that's an important milestone. Remember too that if you ever did have a day when you binged again it would not be the end of the world - it would just be an opportunity to look for, and discover, what triggered it.…"
Cari Corbet-Owen replied to Palestrina's discussion Stress and binging"Palestrina - I'm sending you an eMagic wand - you can use it any time you like to be 'soft' on yourself - how would that look for you? What would you do differently? What would you no longer do?"
