JOIN THIS COMMUNITY
Our Intuitive Eating Community (based on the book Intuitive Eating by Evelyn Tribole & Elyse Resch) is a safe and nurturing place -- free from "diet talk", "fat talk", and body bashing. Reading the book is highly recommended as discussions do use and follow book terms and suggested practices.
It's a place to get inspiration & support for your Intuitive Eating journey.
It's free to join, but you will need to sign-up. Elyse and Evelyn are dedicated to maintaining a 100% free membership.

"Yippee - a BIG 'baby step' indeed!!! So great that they are starting to see that weight is JUST a symptom/result of underlying causes. Get to the causes and the Body (weight) takes care of itself :-)"
IE CertifiedKatcha - IEing since March 2007 replied to Phoebe's discussion Help me I can't eat chocolate anymore!!!!
"Phoebe I realized that I associated evenings (esp. in front of TV) with 'treat' time. That had been my family's practice - basically dessert time. If chocolate isn't doing it for you, what other 'treat' comes to…"
Finally IECarolyn replied to Judith's discussion Baby Steps: Canada's Medical treatment of obesity
"Judith,
Thanks so much for sharing this. The failure rate of diets is finally being recognized for what it is: failure. Our bodies are complex bio-machines and patients often need a compassionate and holistic healthcare provider who understands…"
Finally IECarolyn replied to Phoebe's discussion Help me I can't eat chocolate anymore!!!!
"Phoebe,
Yes this is very common! Sometimes the actual experience of eating a certain food doesn't live up to the 'idea' of it. Often we have to come to terms with this and even experience a sort of 'loss' that comes from the…"

Baby Steps: Canada's Medical treatment of obesity
So, as of today, the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ) has new guidelines for physicians on the 'treatment' of obesity.They now recognize that both BMI and waist circumference measurements are "limited" in usefullnes (Yay?)They also recognize that "willpower and motivation will allow for a dietary plan that lasts for a short period of time and then our body compensates and regains the weight" (Ya THINK??? LOL).They also recognize that obesity should not be considered a 'self-inflicted…See More

Help me I can't eat chocolate anymore!!!!
Hi I haven't had so tighter focus on my ie of late (I am testing myself for fodmap intolerances, but that's another story)..but I am still changing and I have noticed a couple of things.One of the main ones that bugs me, is that I can no longer eat the "junk food" that I did, once a week to -treat myself- in front of the tv. I am extremely grateful that I mostly no longer binge eat at night, but I can't really even eat about 6 pieces of chocolate without feeling a bit sick. And I notice that…See More
IE CrystalPatty G replied to Betsy's discussion Patient with the Process
"I get it, Betsy! And I know it's hard to stop thinking about losing weight when you're not happy with your size. And I also know that most dieters are perfectionists...that's why we are perfect targets for diets and diet mentality. We…"
IE CrystalJackie Sanders replied to Katcha - IEing since March 2007's discussion Excellent and Inspiring Quotes from this Forum's Posts.
"In the Foreword to the IE book it says, "You will evaluate how hungry you feel and then think about what foods might satisfy your hunger and your taste buds. You might even go through a series of sensual imaginings of taste and texture and…"
IE ExploreBetsy replied to Betsy's discussion Patient with the Process
"Tammi,
I'm sure I eat out of boredom, which I'm just now getting into Chapter 7 in the workbook which I think will discuss that. I've accepted myself at this size but I do desire to lose weight. I don't feel…"
IE ExploreBetsy replied to Tammy J.'s discussion Just saw this in my news feed
"Katcha, I was asking if they had read the book they were discussing, "Start Where You Are Weight Loss.""
IE CertifiedKatcha - IEing since March 2007 replied to Tammy J.'s discussion Just saw this in my news feed
"Betsy if you access any member's profile page you can scroll down the center column to read if they have read the IE book or not ;-) I know it makes a difference for me when I respond."
IE CertifiedKatcha - IEing since March 2007 replied to Betsy's discussion Patient with the Process
"Yes Betsy its challenging to see how diet mentality sneaks in so subtly! When I get into the 'I'm not doing IE right/well/successfully' mode when I can, reminding myself that IE is so NOT about 'perfection' helps me to reset…"
IE CertifiedKatcha - IEing since March 2007 commented on Patty G's blog post A day of NSVs tempered by body image
"Summer I never did color my hair until it got in the in-between stage not golden blond not gray. It looked 'brassy' and dull so I used some semi-permanent rinse that brightened it up. Now they don't make the semi-permanent color any…"
Tammi Brochman replied to Betsy's discussion Patient with the Process"Hi Betsy, congratulations on 8 months of IE! I’m curious about two things...1) have you gotten curious with yourself about what else is going on when you find yourself choosing to eat when you’re not hungry (emotions, boredom, or stress…"
