"Hello Katcha and thank you so much for your thoughtful message. It has only been a few days of getting back in to more conscious and aware IE mode and I already feel like I do have more choices. Best to you. "
"Thank you so much Judith for sharing your ideas with me this is very helpful."

"Gentle attention, that might be what my soul needs. I feel I failed on so many levels, not only am I fat, I did not even carry away major disfunctions. And while I know it sounds privileged and arrogant, I can’t just be happy that apparently I…"

"Overload can be just as tough to deal with as overeating. What works for me is to 1) pick ONE thing that I really need to do and tackle that. & 2) stop expecting myself to 'do it ALL' (all at once). Once I ease back on my expectations…"

"Amie a saying that makes my hubby and I smile is "Rust never sleeps." The same can be said about Diet Culture! Lockdown has suppressed us from living our lives as fully as we had before. Sadly one of the things that does continue is that…"

Eating intuitively when it's too loud to hear your intuition
I'm betting many of you can relate:With a full-time job and two young kids, I spend the bulk of my days in a position where it feels next to impossible to tune into my intuition well enough to honor it. I'm often eating to the point of physical discomfort during the day, because I'm trying to "honor my hunger" and it's telling me I want, say, another heaping spoon of peanut butter.Honestly, that gut feeling that I need a source of energy is probably right on the money. It's the discomfort of…See More
"Oh man, I feel this. Moving out of deficit mindset, "I don't want to" "I'm trying to avoid" etc., and struggling to articulate what I do, in fact, want. And here I thought I was an empowered 21st century woman…"
Hello to all
Hello to each of you. I am 57 and have struggled with my weight for my entire life. A wonderful therapist introduced me to IE 2 years ago and it has made a major difference in my life. Enormous stress stemming from the pandemic has made for a very difficult 16 months and I have gained weight and do not feel my best. My knees hurt. I am hitting refresh on the IE principles and already feeling calmer and more at peace in my body. Thank you for sharing your experiences. See More
Finally IEJudith replied to Heidi D's discussion Is Intuitive Eating for someone whose issue is overeating and not restricting
"Heidi.. I would agree with Katcha. Intuitive Eating is basically a process that helps us re-set our thinking from “This is how I should eat” or “This is the size my body should be” to a sense of freedom around food and in…"
IE CertifiedKatcha - IEing since March 2007 replied to Anke's discussion "Not broken enough" (and still full in the DM)
"Anke, while the most of people seek out IE for weight/body/food reasons, those are only the things that are generally first dealt with. Peace with yourself is and can be a delightful reward gained from the IE process, it just usually occurs after…"
IE CertifiedKatcha - IEing since March 2007 replied to Heidi D's discussion Is Intuitive Eating for someone whose issue is overeating and not restricting
"Heidi the Intuitive Eating process is not a 'program' to tell anyone how they should eat. IE is about reconnecting to the ONE genuine source of 'what/how much/when' YOUR body needs to eat.
We currently live in what is referred to…"
IE ExploreAnke replied to Anke's discussion "Not broken enough" (and still full in the DM)
"I have to admit, I still struggle with this thought.
