"I struggle with fullness cues. I have to force feed myself snacks because I am underweight, any experience with this? When can I start trusting my body and stop the snacks if I'm not hungry?"

Katcha - IEing since March 2007 replied to Maggie D'Amour's discussion Last Night- Fail"Maggie, its dieting (mentality) that holds 'success/fail' judgements. IE is more about making peace with whatever is messing with your fueling your life - food and emotions too.
When you came home after that dinner out, what were you…"
Katcha - IEing since March 2007 replied to Liz's discussion Troubles (warning: kind of negative)"Liz perhaps your most pressing needs at this time are body image issues?

I'm new on this online forum. However, I have been a slave to dieting/binge eating/starving etc for most of my life. I have had success with IE several times in my life, but let my thoughts get in the way and go back to…"
Maggie D'Amour posted a discussionLast Night- Fail
So I have been having a lot of success with IE. Last night I went out to dinner with a friend and we had a Fried fish dinner. For the most part, I think I stopped when I was satisfied/ full but it is always harder for me to tell how intuitive I am being when I am with other people/ in a social situation.

Gwen replied to Liz's discussion Troubles (warning: kind of negative)"Hi Liz!
I hear ya-I have been in a funk lately too. Here's what I do know-diets will make what you are feeling worse.... So what's a girl to do? I guess for me I have decided to write "CURIOUSITY NOT JUDGEMENT" on little post…"
Troubles (warning: kind of negative)
*waves sheepishly*Hi, again...I'm so sorry for posting ALL THE TIME! But I just can't seem to get IE to click. I just feel sad a lot. I don't like the way my body looks. Probably more importantly, I don't want to like the way my body looks. I don't particularly care what my body can do. I haven't even found many foods that are satisfying.I am behaving as though I'm not on a diet, and I'm gaining weight to show for it (about 10 lbs since October), but my brain is still making judgments and…See More
"Hi, Beth! If you want to eat breakfast at a certain time, I think you can acclimate your body to it over time. I was a meal skipper before IE, and one of the first things my dietician (the one who introduced me to IE) had me do was start eating at…"
Jerry replied to Alesia's discussion Questions about eating without distractions"This is actually my main focus right now.

Katcha - IEing since March 2007 replied to Alesia's discussion Questions about eating without distractions"Excellent observations JC - especially about what is happening on the TV vs. how one eats.
