"Thank you Melanie. Menopause does really require a change in mindset - a "moving towards" what we women really want to become; our authentic 'selves'. My relationship with food is complicated as is my relationship with the people…"

Melanie Henson replied to Mare's discussion On being disgusted with myself...and letting go of weight?"You got compliments when you were losing weight - but does that really mean you made someone's day by being thin, and that conversely, if you gain, you are just simply bumming someone out?
Is your body personally responsible for someone…"
Melanie Henson replied to Adrienne Leonetti-Clements's discussion Menopause & IE"I can't really add specific information about menopause and IE, but I wanted to say that I am perimenopausal, have started to have either super-long cycles (I'm currently something like 65 days into one - I keep hoping that means it just…"
Laurie Weaver replied to Laura's discussion Relapse or Reasonable Response?"Thank SO much for this link. The article was just what I needed to stop my panic and pursue more balanced thinking today."
Katcha - IEing since March 2007 replied to Adrienne Leonetti-Clements's discussion Menopause & IE"Of course you are correct Adrienne - eating a carrot when not hungry is 'human' and within IE principles. The carrot/carrot cake remark was offered as much as a counterpoint to diet mentality which generally equates carrots with…"
Palestrina replied to Palestrina's discussion The Food Police is roaring"Thanks Katcha. I have spoken to her about IE a little bit but she doesn't really get it and certainly doesn't understand my eating disorder. Ironically she is a natural born intuitive eater and eats exactly what she wants with no guilt. I…"
Adrienne Leonetti-Clements replied to Adrienne Leonetti-Clements's discussion Menopause & IE"Thanks Ina. I struggle with the menopause eating because I have probably not really accepted that this may be my body for now - at this stage of life. And these regained pounds might just be what my body sets at during this time of fluctuating…"
Adrienne Leonetti-Clements replied to Adrienne Leonetti-Clements's discussion Menopause & IE"Thanks Katcha. Good reminders. I thought that even eating a carrot when not hungry is human and all part of intuitive eating and knowing yourself ;)
I guess being new to IE, I experienced waves of guilt about the cake. After decades of cake…"
Janneke Maria replied to Mary Kacsur's discussion Overcoming Guilt"I can somewhat relate to what you said... a 'binge' somehow seems less voluntary, while just eating until full is a 'conscious decision' to 'overeat' (which it is NOT) which is then 'bad'.
However, I…"
Katcha - IEing since March 2007 replied to Palestrina's discussion What do you do when you don't know what to do?"My first and foremost 'tool' of IE is becoming aware. If I can focus my attention (which wanders!) on what the 'moment' is, I have a better chance at finding how I got 'there' as well as what I really really really…"
Katcha - IEing since March 2007 replied to Palestrina's discussion The Food Police is roaring"Sounds like your mom is feeling that without anyone to feedback to you, you may not be aware of what you are doing (eating wise). However, what is coming thru in her comments are judgements and those are triggering your rebel. I wonder how she…"
Katcha - IEing since March 2007 replied to Lynne Smith's discussion Back in the depths"It seems to me that "losing weight holds such high esteem in our culture" because it shows restraint or control which can be positive characteristics in many situations. But when that is done to produce an imposed image onto one's…"
