I have not binged nor purged nor restricted in three days!!!  In the past five

years, excluding the three months I was in the hospital, I have not been able to

go so long without turning to eating disordered behavior.  Woot!  Woot!

Yes, binges are so tough, but am self correcting today as well and getting

back in to the swing of things. Had a denial problem lately.

Oh I'm Jane and haven't posted for awhile.

I don't know if this will help anyone but I have been trying something for the

past few weeks that is really helping my out of control feelings with binging

and food. I plan every Sunday to make something. I plan it before hand and then

I make something sweet and it is better if I make it with other people. Then we

can enjoy it over some coffee and I give the rest to them to take home. If I

make something alone-I bring it to my neighbors or my work. When I feel the urge

for sweets I think of Sunday and when I am about to binge on something that is

made of junk-I think of my homemade treats. It is just something I am

experimenting with, but helps me to not feel like I will NEVER get food or

sweets.

Good luck

Avie, that's a lesson it took me a long time to learn.... That sometimes it's a

*success* to skip a workout.

There's a part of me--I guess related to the part that binges--that used to push

me to exercise when I was truly not feeling well, or overtired, or injured.

" You're just being lazy. You planned to run more today--how can you stop? " When

I started IOWL, one of my goals was to find a way of living that didn't rely on

that mean, angry inner voice to get me to exercise. I'm truly amazed at how much

more consistent I am--now that I feel free to listen to what I want, and choose

something other than what I had planned, or take it easier than I " should " .

(Like what said about choosing salad instead of the meal she had

planned....)

I'm sure that listening to yourself and doing yoga later in the day made it much

better overall.

Hello to everyone in the IOWL group. I can totally relate to overexercising Yuka

and I also consider it a success that I can now listen to my body and take some

rest days. As a result I have so much more energy and feel more excited on the

days that I do exercise.

 

I have been lurking the last 6 months but definitely keeping up with everyone

and now I'm ready to get back into the group.

I had to take the time off to work on myself and think and write in my journal

and think and write some more. Listening to and applying her method has

brought me success but not the success that I thought I was so desperate for in

the beginning of my journey. In the beginnning it was all about the number on

the scale and as time progressed (I have been listening since beginning of

December 2009) and I continued to listen and apply her techniques...keep a

journal...and reading your postings and more writing in my journal I have slowly

learned to love myself. My AHA moment was during the podcast (don't remember

which one it was) where asks if we show up as our authentic selves.I was

always complaining that people didn't really know the real me and I was eager to

blame others on this fact thinking they weren't taking the time... but I

realised that in trying to be Miss Perfect all the time I wasn't really showing

up as...ME. And in order to do

that I had to accept myself with all my quirks and accept and love every pound

that is on my body. It has taken time but slowly I have come to enjoy and accept

and show up as...ME :-)

 

And in the process I have soooo many people come up and talk to me but even

better so many casual acquantances who seem to be eager to talk to me now...Had

I closed them off? Was my being shy and withdrawn keeping people away?

And always I was waiting to show up as me AFTER I had lost those last 15

pounds. As if I were not worthy to be me before I lost them because again, I was

not perfect. So was I hiding behind this weight? And just letting life goooo

by... NO MORE!

 

....

Avie...you are doing an awsome job. I love the way you show up every day and

make a new beginning. I love reading your posts and Constance what an AMAZING

journey you have had and what a transformation!!! You are an amazing woman and I

admire the work you are putting in to make your life better and in the  process

improving the lives of your children, husband and the many children you work

with on a daily basis.

....Thank you...thank you....thank you for the selfless work you've put into

this group. Your comments always give me food for thought and since I know that

you have a long commute, work hard, try to fit in exercise and have a busy

family life I appreciate (or am grateful :-) for the work you put into this

group.

So my success for today is that I posted with the group again. I am ready to

continue on my weight loss journey and lose these last 15!!!

Hugs to everyone..

, the last few times I've done one of the identity guided journeys (3 or

33), when asked " I am like... what? " and the first thing that pops into my head

is... ME....

I'm still working on figuring out exactly what that means, but now it feels

exciting, instead of terrifying.

And thanks for your thanks. :-) I don't know if I can exactly say it's selfless,

though... It's more along the lines of putting in to get something out. I'm very

glad that something that helps me so much can help others, too....
