Nicky replied to GIna Greene's discussion Beverages"Hi Gina, I drink only black coffee tea and water, never fruit juice (prefer to eat fruit instead) or soda (too sweet). However, when out for a meal or a social event I will have a glass of wine or two (never more!) or perhaps a glass of port wine.…"

I did a quick search of past threads and it doesn't look like anyone has discussed this in a while...how do you approach beverages with IE.In the past with dieting I would basically only drink water, diet soda, and coffee. They were my way of filling the empty places and socially acceptable ways to be consuming something during a social event without actually consuming calories. As I've made peace with food I've experimented with regular soda (except for the occasional treat, I find it too…See More
GIna Greene replied to Suz m's discussion Reasons to exercise"My NUMBER ONE reason is my mental health. It's a combination of the "me time" or sometimes some girlfriend chatting time and the endorphins released by the exercise and just mental clarity I get while exercising. If I'm in a funk…"
Katcha - IEing since March 2007 replied to Christina's discussion Why, hello!"Welcome Christina. I have found having a support group about the only way I was able to get on IE track and stick with it. Having to accept that others will continue to spout their opinions and 'instructions' is no piece of cake. Glad you…"
Melanie replied to Suz m's discussion Reasons to exercise"I'm older (52) but have always hated exercise of any kind, so here are my reasons:
Keeps me from getting stiff and walking like an old lady.
Gives me strength to do things like lugging laundry and groceries.
Gives me energy as long as I…"
Christina posted a discussionWhy, hello!
Hello, all. My name is Christina. I moved back into my parents' home in September to attend graduate school. They both have a lot of prejudices and issues with food and weight which has been tough for me as it is only compounded by the messages of every form of media I take in every day! I am really glad to have found this community to help reinforce the material in the book and remind me that the most important thing is listening to my body and not other people's voices telling me about my…See More
Athena Anderson replied to Erica Geissman's discussion Weight gain & loss"I'm new too, and concerned about my health because of my weight. I was grossly overweight when I started IE, and have gained more in 3 weeks. I feel like a heart attack waiting to happen. I was so excited when I bought my first round of…"
Athena Anderson posted a discussionNewbie greeting
Hi folks. Just joined the group after struggling with adopting IE for 3 weeks. I know weight isn't the goal, but I feel disgusting, so I'm hoping to learn from you all and help out where I can.See More
Lis Angel replied to Betty's discussion Overeaters Anonymous"I work the program of oa&define my abstinence as 'not judging what I eat&shape of my body'..for me it is important to stay close to the literature of 12step recovery as my guide&recognize I'm a legitimate member also when…"
Katcha - IEing since March 2007 replied to Betty's discussion Overeaters Anonymous"Welcome Betty. The topic of OA has certainly been discussed her before. If you use the SEARCH box (right column) I'm sure it will direct you to all the feedback and thoughts regarding this subject. Good job getting the book - it really will…"
Katcha - IEing since March 2007 replied to Scottie H's discussion Emotional Eating"Scottie, been there, done that (emotional eating ;-).
I still have knee-jerk reachings for food when I am 'upset' - mostly driven by frustration, anger or need for comforting. These moments are certainly less as I have been able to 1)…"
Katcha - IEing since March 2007 replied to Katcha - IEing since March 2007's discussion Member name change"Ginger, I find it so wonderful to share this forum with 'professionals' no matter what their IE experience 'level' is. I love how you expressed the reality of "This is proof that you can have all the knowledge in the world…"
Betty posted a discussionOvereaters Anonymous
I am brand new to IE and waiting for my book to arrive. I am wondering if anyone has had experience with OA? If so, what are your thoughts about the compatibility of IE and OA? I have been going to OA meetings but have been confused by some of their teachings. Any input would be greatly appreciated.See More
Natalie replied to April's discussion Best IE Advice You've Ever Received"I think a very important to keep in mind is PROGRESS NOT PERFECTION. It's okay not to do "everything" perfectly in one meal, day, or month. It's a long process and there's no growth without mistakes."
