"Kathleen,
As we come out of diet culture, each of us may be in a different place. For me, I did gain some weight because in many ways I had starved my body of many things, not the least of which was satisfaction. It took months and months for me…"

"Welcome, Susie!
You will find that you are in good company here. Many of us have dieted for many years (35 years in my case).
Definitely, take IE at your own pace... work on one Principle at a time. Some have suggested that a good…"

Thoughts on Weight GAIN
It is disturbing when you aren't comfortable in your own body. However what you are going thru is very usual and there are many posts on this - try Searching…"
Clothes Struggle
I haven’t been doing IE for very long, a few weeks. My body feels amazing and I have so much energy and less anxiety. However, my clothes don’t fit comfortably. I am bigger now than I have ever been, and it is uncomfortable to get dressed. I don’t have the money to buy all new clothes, and I honestly don’t want to.

"Welcome Susanne. If you read a few of the other Introductions here you will find that you are certainly not alone in where you find yourself at this moment. UNlearning diet mentality is work, but it can be done. Good to know you have read the IE…"
"Hi Paula, welcome....I'm Susie and I'm new too! IE makes so much sense but much more challenging to incorporate in your life....I am just trying to be gentle about it and realize it's a little bit like being a 5 year old…"
Hopeful and a little worried....
Hi everyone, I'm Susie. I am 64 and have been on a diet since I was 14....so that's 50 years. I initially read a book in the 80's appropriately called "Diets Don't Work" and was so excited about it's principle of not dieting! I lost 25 pounds in 6 months with the approach, but have struggled since then. I have joined Weight Watchers over 100 times, and started circling around from WW, then Atkins, then Whole 30, back to WW, then Atkins, etc... for at least the past 10 years, I haven't lost…See More
