"Hi Lisa,
Yes I can definitely relate to being afraid of having junk food around all the time. To be honest I think the biggest turning point for me was going back to university where I am constantly busy. I didn't have the time to think about…"
IE CertifiedKatcha - IEing since March 2007 replied to Rose Perez's discussion Hi! V. New to IE
"Welcome Rose. Al you mentioned is so very usual for the bulk of us as we start to embrace IE. If you can think of those 'shaming' elements as hints into how dieting mentality has gotten into your life, that could be helpful for you…"

"Rose,
I too went out of my comfort zone when I joined this forum. I didn't read or post on any online forums hardly at all. (Now I do some limited facebooking, but we are talking 3+ years later...) The support you can receive from this forum is…"
Rose Perez posted a discussionHi! V. New to IE
Hi there, I am really going out of my comfort zone by joining and especially posting here, but as someone who is exploring IE, I'm hoping to get some additional support since I don't have much support in this area IRL. I would have liked to find an IE counselor, but, you know...time and money.I will not lie - I initially looked into IE as a way to lose weight. Being in the very early stages of my IE journey, this goal is still VERY hard to let go of. I still do the things I "shouldn't" like…See More

"Lisa whenever you can recognize that you are feeling deprived, try and imagine little Lisa being denied and how she must feel. That is the 'demon' you are probably feeding ;-)"
IE AwakeJudith replied to Megan's discussion New member
"Welcome, Megan!
Yes, it is SO easy to 'trick' ourselves into thinking we're 'not dieting' (way back when I was going to WW, they always said, "Oh, this isn't a diet, it's a LIFESTYLE"...ugh!!
Good for…"

So very happy for you! You have just made my day by giving me a healthy dose of hope. The beginning of your journey that you share is exactly where I am at…"
IE ReadyLisa C replied to Jill Joseph's discussion Giving up dieting has been tougher than giving up drinking
"Thanks for sharing. I am finding that diet mentality is very sneaky and can be activated without even recognizing it at first. That's why I am choosing to engage every single day in this journey of IE. The more I practice, the…"

"Welcome, Megan! So glad to see you here! Thank you for sharing about tricking yourself into thinking you were not dieting because you were learning balance. It helps me to articulate what's been my experience as well. I…"

Six Month Update
Hi Everyone,I wanted to give an update at the six month mark to give some hope to all of you just starting out.Six months into IE I am now eating and drinking freely in a way I haven't in a long time. I took more of a 'f it diet' approach and eat everything unrestrictedly for any reason. Yes at first I gained weight, I had just come off a diet and was regularly binging so I'm convinced the weight would have come on again anyway. I am now at a point where, without even realizing it, I have lost…See More
