Jessica LiBassi replied to Jessica LiBassi's discussion Weight Loss as a Goal?"Thanks so much. My library doesn’t have any of the books - is there a place that has a list of recommended books to buy? I know IE, but there’s also the workbook, HAES, etc. Is the IE the best place to start?"

"Jessica, I have conducted a couple online 'Guided Start' groups but frankly this PEER forum and the Videos Eeza (Debbie) and I have made are DIY help that anyone can make use of.
Ironically IE is a 'solo' journey - YOU determine…"
Charity replied to Alex Lindstrom's discussion Diet Rebel? Immediate Gratification vs. Long Term Health"So true Sarah! I have added juice back to the permission list and I am loving having it instead of my diet soda. I feel so much better after a high quality orange juice than coke. My stomach is so much happier as well. "
Charity replied to Jessica LiBassi's discussion Weight Loss as a Goal?"Thank you Jessica for asking this very hard question.
As a newbie myself I have the same push-pull feel about knowing IE makes total sense but being terrified of weight gain (and not pursuing weight loss). I have spent a lifetime pursuing…"

"This is something I struggle with too and one thing that has helped me (although I still don't do it nearly enough) is sit and focus on what I'm eating. Like really be in the moment with it. I find when I do that, not only do I…"

"Jessica... Take it slow. Many have suggested working on one Principle at a time (the IE workbook is a great resource!). And, read and post here lots...use us as your “group”!"
Jessica LiBassi replied to Jessica LiBassi's discussion Weight Loss as a Goal?"Thank you ladies so much for the insight. It’s going to be very hard for me to do this. I guess I’ll read the book(s) and hope for the best. I sure wish there was some sort of group meeting type thing to be able to sort through…"
IE AwakeJudith replied to Jessica LiBassi's discussion Weight Loss as a Goal?
"Hi Jessica, and welcome!
With respect to intentional weight loss... the whole point of IE is to bring ourselves to a sense of peace with our own food, mind, and body. The authors suggest not pursuing weight loss (or 'putting it on the…"
IE CertifiedKatcha - IEing since March 2007 replied to Jessica LiBassi's discussion Weight Loss as a Goal?
"Jessica, what the IE book suggests is that one puts weight loss 'on the back burner' while you are in the IE process. You don't have to 'give up' on your body, just change your goal from a 'number' to instead…"
Jessica LiBassi posted a discussionWeight Loss as a Goal?
Hello All. I am very new to all of this. I have not read the books yet, but I’m listening to podcasts and trying to learn as much as possible. I am wondering, is it okay to have weight loss as a goal while also doing IE and everything it entails or do I need to let go of that goal completely to fully “get” the process? I have been doing weight watchers (basically on and off all my life) and I have been “on” and losing weight for the past 9 months. I’m still 20-30 pounds heavier than my ultimate…See More
Charity replied to Alex Lindstrom's discussion Diet Rebel? Immediate Gratification vs. Long Term Health"Hi Alex,
My rebel voice is so much louder than I ever realized before I started IE. Different to your situation at the moment. I haven't gotten past the external yet.
At the moment my dispassionate observer of my thinking, feeling…"
