"Summer,
Very often I just eat what I want for a meal, whether it's just one "junk" food or not. I eat what I feel like eating. I find that I don't stay satisfied for too long, though, if I don't get some protein,…"

Angie Novoa replied to Summer's discussion How I'm dealing with weight gain"I totally get you. One month before I started IE I gained 4 pounds, and when I started IE I realized that my clothes didn't fit any more. I decided to put them appart and just buy some new clothes, that make me feel comfortable and beautiful. I…"
IE ExploreBetsy Williams replied to Sherone Joy O'Neil's discussion Hey! It works:)
"Sherone,
Yes, it's nice to be able to eat what I want when I want. I find that although I have my fair share of "junk" food, I crave the healthy foods more. My body feels better when I get enough protein, fruits, and…"
IE ExploreBetsy Williams replied to Cheryl's discussion Choosy eater? Me?
"Cheryl,
I'm becoming much pickier now, too. Used to I would eat dessert just because it was there. Now if I taste it and I don't love it, I leave it. This is new for me and it feels great to be in control of what I put in…"
IE ExploreBetsy Williams replied to SAA's discussion Surprised myself by digging into my eating issues
"A,
I can relate to using exercise to control weight. I did it off and on from age 12 to about 40. My knee needs to be replaced now, so there's no more excessive exercise for me. I was a runner before and now it hurts to even…"

"“I'm realizing it's one thing to eat the foods, but quite another to actually make peace with them. In the past, I think I just ate the food but still stayed in diet mentality.”
What a great realization! SO true!"
IE CrystalSummer replied to Kemarie's discussion Life's a Dance
"It's interesting how tuning into our need for food trickles into other areas. I'm finding that with the pursuit of pleasure. Pursuit of pleasure in my eating was something that used to scare me. Pursuit of pleasure in life, well I had a…"
IE CrystalSummer replied to Summer's discussion Eating one forbidden food to the exclusion of others
"I love s'mores! In the past, when we'd go camping or have a holiday, I would be "allowed" to have s'mores. You better believe I would eat as many as possible during those times. This past weekend, I got the marshmallows, but…"

"Last night as I ate dark chocolate, I had the jarring thought that I may not actually like dark chocolate. What?! Dark chocolate is like part of my identity. Amazing."
IE CrystalSummer replied to Summer's discussion Eating one forbidden food to the exclusion of others
"Thank you all for sharing your experiences! It's soooo helpful to read different experiences and realize that however I do it is okay.
A little voice keeps whispering, "You've had your fun eating whatever you want for two months. Time…"
"Just this past holiday weekend, I ate a food that I once considered forbidden.....campfire s'mores. A food that takes me back to my Girl Scout days. My husband, who is under-weight, keeps s'mores ingredients in the cupboard all the time,…"

"My 'bane' was chocolate. I stocked it (cheap bulk chocolate covered peanuts) and put those in a large glass jar in my kitchen where I could nibble those anytime I wanted. Which was about any time I saw them! This went on for…"

"Summer... My food that I thought I would never habituate to was cookies. I honestly referred to them (during my dieting days) as my “kryptonite”. I would only have them in the house when I wanted to have an “excuse” for…"
Finally IECarolyn replied to Summer's discussion Eating one forbidden food to the exclusion of others
"Summer,
"I don't have strong feelings about it one way or the other now that I did it." -Yes, we have to 'go there' and do it in order for us to get to the other side. Good for you!
For me it was peanut butter. I had at…"
"Hello everyone,
It's a pleasure to be here in this journey to a better relationship with food after cycles of diet/binge.
Thank you!"
