Vicki's Intro...

[Guest guest]

> My name is Vicki and I have been following the intuitive eating program for

>about 6 months. I started eating this way in December. Previously I dropped

>about 160 pounds by not eating over 300 calories during the day and eating

>one big meal in the evenings. Of course, I did not eat a single cookie,

>cake, or candy, no chips, and very little pasta or potatoes. I knew at the

>time that I needed at least one meal to get that super full satisfied

>feeling.....and it worked for weight loss, but I knew in my heart that that

>was not the healthy way that God would have me to eat. I did that for a year

>and a half. Wisely, I began praying, " Lord teach me to eat " .

> On the news I heard about a professor who was teaching people about a no

>diet diet. I began my search on the internet for intuitive eating. I

>followed his guide lines but needed more help. I then read the books

>Overcoming Overeating and Intuitive Eating, a Revolutionary Program that

>Works. I highly recommend to everyone to read those books.....what a

>treasure.

> I still fight the diet mentality, but I am a Christian, and my God shows

>me daily that his plan is for me to eat when I am hungry and stop when I am

>full.

> I do exercise daily for 30 minutes (once in a while I miss) and I try to

>be a worker and not a couch potato, or in my case a computer zombie. LOL!

> I could probably keep talking (writing) but I know that you don't need

to

>know all about me in one sitting. Thanks for listening....and I want to

>hear how others cope with the times when their 'head' says...I'm

hungry, but

>they know that their body doesn't really require food yet.
