"Teh Rachel,
Life happens, life can be stressful and work can be stressful. Navigating all of life with the IE principles in our tool bag can help us focus and navigate. I'd say the 'mundane' successes are well worth noting :)"

Michelle Coon replied to Michelle Coon's discussion eating out intuitively first time"Thanks Rachel! (your first name??)
Yes, This journey has led me down many paths. I am learning how to investigate my uncomfortable feelings before acting on them.
A year ago, I would had just assumed that he would want me "to be ready, on…"

Sometimes success doesn't sparkle
Hey folks, it's been a while since I posted and I wanted to check in. Things are going as well as they can with intuitive eating. <3 Some might recall I got a job back in August... well, it didn't work out so well. I had some issues with my manager that never resolved. It ends in Jan, and I'm working from home until then. I've been struggling with fairly intense stress for months now. I noticed my eating and movement patterns shift a bit towards my old stress response - overeating and not…See More
IE CrystalTeh Rachel replied to Shelby Azure's discussion What Brought Me Here; Newbie to IE
"Welcome, Shelby!
I hope to work on the following:
-Eating my food guilt free
-Learn to enjoy my food without judgment or shame
-Stop fearing weight gain and let go of Fat-phobia
These are totally in your reach <3 And you're in good…"
IE CrystalTeh Rachel replied to Michelle Coon's discussion eating out intuitively first time
"Hi Michelle, I just wanted to say: great work selecting what you wanted and eating mindfully! And great job noticing your husband not being inconvenienced, and how this didn't match your inner experience - this will be useful to ponder! :-)…"

Finally IECarolyn replied to Carolyn's discussion Still Learning/Growing & Some Stuggles
"Katcha,
Yes, auto-pilot is easier in the short-run, but in the long-run it's so much better to employ that good-ole 'awareness' factor.
And yes, eating a little more (or less, for that matter) than is 'perfectly comfortable'…"
Finally IECarolyn replied to Carolyn's discussion Still Learning/Growing & Some Stuggles
"Nancy,
It has been an underlying theme of my IE journey, this sadness. There are many reasons for it as I have done much self-examination about my overeating. At the end of the day, this sadness has a very long 'half life' but I do think…"
IE CertifiedKatcha - IEing since March 2007 replied to Carolyn's discussion Still Learning/Growing & Some Stuggles
"Carolyn I had to realize that its soooo much easier to just slip into auto-pilot and clean my plate than to let my awareness surface and ask myself if I really want to eat that way (which will indeed NOT please me). There are times when the…"
Ellie replied to Ellie's discussion New to this!"Thank you, that's actually really helpful advice! I will give it a try this evening! :-)"
Ellie replied to Ellie's discussion New to this!"Thank you so much for your response. I think I'm just so used to rating my 'success' by how well I follow the rules; going alone without rules is actually quite scary! And although I'm trying to get rid of my fat phobia, its not…"
Nancy Dorian replied to Carolyn's discussion Still Learning/Growing & Some Stuggles"I can really relate to the sadness of giving up overeating. I'm still a bit stuck there. Knowing I've had enough and eating more because it tastes so good. Often eating so fast that I don't realize how full I am. Yep, work in process."
Finally IECarolyn replied to Ellie's discussion New to this!
"Ellie,
I have found that, for me, drinking alcohol has been incorporated into my IE journey. When I've had alcohol without paying attention to how it tastes and how it makes me feel, I do get distanced from my hunger/fullness and end up…"
Michelle Coon posted a discussioneating out intuitively first time
I planned our shopping trip to town so we could eat at a restaurant. I intentionally did not pick the place or my food ahead of time. I chose Cracker Barrel (edited from Golden Corral) not impulsively but because I thought I would have a good choice of different types of food.The food police, my husband and the waitress were put on hold while I studied the menu. Once I let go of the thought of judging by calorie count list for each item (I used to think this was a good thing) so many more…See More
