Thanks for making a post of this article. I wasn't sure if it was going to far to share it with the forum as it's more about anorexia but I still felt so connected to the points in it. I found that the science of what was…"
Lizzy Mac's discussion was featuredcrazy pre-IE experiences
I look back at life before IE when I would binge like crazy, (ALWAYS after "failing" another diet.) I think its funny now when I look back. I remember all the crazy stuff I used to do to hide my overeating. Like pretending to read a list at the drive thru so the fast food worker wouldn't think all that food was for me, or having the baker write happy birthday on a cake so she wouldn't know I was planning on eating the whole cake. Haha, I think its funny now because I know dieting caused that…See More

really upset by a diagnosis
I know it's not a death sentence, but I have issues with my adrenals and thyroid. It appears I'm hypothyroid with adrenal fatigue. I think I'm frustrated by the doctors who blew me off years ago as just "looking for an excuse" when all they thought I needed was to "eat less and move more". Um, that is the worst advice you can give someone with an eating disorder. I've been trying to "fix myself" for years with the "eat less/move more" method. Then, one doctor put me on antidepressants instead…See More
Amy Taddei's discussion was featuredGERD
I am so very grateful for IE! I have just recently (yesterday) have been diagnosed with GERD. The doctor said I have had something called "silent GERD" for a very long time caused by bulimia/binge eating disorder. I didn't have many symptoms, except what I thought was excessive hunger from my medications, (was actually my stomach doing flip flops from excessive acid) until about 3 weeks ago when I started getting acid indigestion severely. I felt like dying because my stomach and esophagus were…See More

Jamie's discussion was featuredI don't have the confidence and I am scared/binging at the same time every day!
so for a few days I have been trying to IE. I do so well at the beginning of the day and then I binge at the same times I do every day. So no matter if I am on a diet or not, I notice I want to just eat and eat during 2 times during the day. Right after lunch time after my son goes down for a nap and at bedtime when my son goes to sleep! I get so full and so sick when I do it. I don't feel confident I can do this. I feel really scared that I won't and I will always binge. I don't know how to…See More
Liz's discussion was featuredFear of Principle 5 - Respect your fullness
For some reason, I've realized that I am afraid of Principle 5. And I know I shouldn't be. Reasonably, I know that I can eat again.I am having a hard time nailing down my hunger signals, too. I think that might have something to do with it.But please tell me how Principle 5 works for you. I think I have this weird idea that if I respect my fullness, I won't get to eat anymore (writing that sounds silly).Please help! :-)See More
Carly's discussion was featuredEating to a fullness level of 8
So how long did it take people to consistently eat to a fullness level of 6 or 7? I haven't been stuffing myself lately, but I generally haven't been able to put the fork down until I'm at an 8. If you're someone who used to stuff yourself when not in a diet, how long did it take you to be able to put that form down at 6 or 7?
Tanya Johnson's discussion was featuredPrinciple 8 Respecting Your Body: How?
In my opinion the most difficult part of IE is Principle 8 Respect Your Body. This is the main reason why I have gotten angry with IE and why I have left the forum and went back to portion control & under eating (dieting). I didn't want to let go the thin fantasy. For the last 10 yrs I have been practicing IE on and off. The few times in my life where I was able to accept my body I was more productive, creative and happy. Since realizing this is the hardest part for me, I have decided…See More
Mazzy's discussion was featuredPerspectives on Exercise?
Exercise for me has always been about burning calories. Last year on part of my IE journey, I started to walk daily for my mental health, which was great because that was the only way it would motivate me to do it. However, below the surface, exercise (including walking for mental health) was always about keeping my weight down as the ultimate goal. If I "feel fat" - I walk, or ride the elliptical, or whatever. This "I feel fat" issue I have - is exercising a cover-up? Like, burning the…See More
