AmyL. replied to Suzanne Duncan's discussion Dining on Airplanes"Sorry to say there are no dining options anymore. More like nuts or crackers and cheese. If you were flying say an eight hour flight then maybe but with all your plane changes it doesn't sound like it. What I do is buy food…"
Robin Cabral replied to Anna Brown's discussion Hi! Looking for Former Weight Watchers... What's your story?"I am here as a new member because I have struggled for 10 years with binge eating/eating disorders that all started as a result of losing tons of weight on weight watchers. That is the defining moment for me when my relationship to food…"
AmyL. replied to Anna Brown's discussion Hi! Looking for Former Weight Watchers... What's your story?"I have been through hell with WW as previously stated. It's like a weird weekly sick battle for me. I will do IE for a day or two and get scared. I don't know if I'm scared of success that actually trusting my own…"
Noelle replied to Katcha - IEing since March 2007's discussion Another day, another IE 'lesson'(connection)"Good for you, Katcha! I think you said to someone just the other day that hunger and your body's needs don't use the same clock our minds do (that was a bit of paraphrasing!). I sometimes get anxious when I feel unsatisfied or…"
Katcha - IEing since March 2007 replied to Molly's discussion New and need help!"Good for you! It could be helpful for you to keep your reasons (for not dieting) right where you can read and remember them. I would consider those a 'garlic necklace' against diet mentality ;-)"
Molly replied to Molly's discussion New and need help!"Thank you so much for posting that link. I really enjoyed reading it, and I think it will help me quite a bit. I can't wait to hopefully some day feel freedom. And it's nice to know that I'm not the only one. "
Katcha - IEing since March 2007 replied to Molly's discussion New and need help!"Welcome Molly. I am glad you will be working with a nutritionist who hopefully understands and works with IE too. All your concerns are very common when one begins switching from diet mentality back to reconnecting with your body. About the best…"
Katcha - IEing since March 2007 replied to Suzanne Duncan's discussion Dining on Airplanes"Food service on airplanes has changed a lot. Last time we flew - some years ago now - if a flight was shorter than3 hrs., no 'meal' was served. Not sure what you are allowed to bring onto the plane, certainly not 'liquids'? You…"
Molly posted a discussionNew and need help!
Hello,I really want to EI, but I seem to just keep overeating. Should I wait until my stomach is physically growling to eat food? What has been most helpful for you? How do you stop thinking about food? After years of dieting, counting calories, binge eating, and so on I just can't stop thinking about everything. I always think about calories and labeling things as good and bad. It's the mentality that I struggle with, and then that causes me to overeat. Any suggestions?!(I am starting…See More
Katcha - IEing since March 2007 replied to Katcha - IEing since March 2007's discussion Another day, another IE 'lesson'(connection)"Not to mention getting a good night's sleep! I remember the first time I read another member posting about being awakened by being hungry. I thought to myself - that's never happened to me - wrong! :-) IE truly is a life supporting…"
Katcha - IEing since March 2007 replied to Anna Brown's discussion Struggling with Permission and Weight"Yes and you can also find the 10 IE Principles by going to the IntuitiveEating.org tab at the top of the forum pages which drops down to show where to click for bringing up a page with principles printed on it."
Noelle replied to Mare's discussion On being disgusted with myself...and letting go of weight?"You still deserve compliments no matter what your size. I like Katcha's remark about the predetermined cut of cloth. I don't know why we blame our bodies or ourselves when clothes don't fit... obviously the clothes are the…"
