Guest guest Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Hmmm, I think I'd tell them to NEVER go on a diet, EVER. It only makes you obsess about food and eat way too much when you do "splurge". Tell them not to believe that you "can't" eat pizza or other "bad" foods. You just can't stuff yourself silly with them. Saunders wrote: yesterday I went to the health unit to get my daughter her year and a half shots.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 That's awesome, ! Congrats! That's something I'd love to do... talk to the teen girls in the area about Intuitive Eating. If we can get them while they're young, and before they get so influenced by the media screaming at them to be " eating-disorder " thin (no offense to those who've struggled/who struggle with this... I'm taking this from an article I read online), then maybe we can help them to avoid this struggle to get BACK to " normal eating " . ) See my blog, ... maybe it'll have something you can use: http://intuitive-eating.blogspot.com Or, my website: http://www.geocities.com/intuitiveeaters Jenn <>< -----Original Message----- > she invited me to an 8 week program where we talk to teen girls about issues that they >face, one of them being body image. >She knew i was practicing IE and so that is one of the things I will >be talking about. >I am really excited but I am nervous too. >I was wondering if I could get a list of all the points that people >found most important in IE. >Such as using our fist as a guide. >How does everyone feel about this? > >The girls in the highschools here are so heavy, much heavier then >even when i was in high school and that was only 6 years ago! > >I really want to encourage them along this path so any advice would >be much appreciated.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Agreed... show them the statistics that say that 95% of all diets fail... maybe get examples from people who've tried repeated diets and found they didn't work... We have a few of those people right here in this group! Weren't there two that said just last week that they tried counting calories again, and found that they'd *gained* weight while doing that? ) Jenn <>< Re: talking to teen girls Hmmm, I think I'd tell them to NEVER go on a diet, EVER.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 One of those was me. I counted calories meticulously for 2 weeks and gained 6 pounds. I was also exercising every weekday (alternating a 1.5 mile power walk one day and toning exercises the next) . -- Re: talking to teen girls Hmmm, I think I'd tell them to NEVER go on a diet, EVER.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Ash, congrats, that's a wonderful honor. The one that stuck out to me is understanding that you and your body are smart enough to be healthy and to stop eating when full. I DID NOT trust my body, I disrepected it and thought it was too flawed to ever make good decisions. That was from years of dieting. I now realize that my body was failing because it was fighting me to be healtier. Who knew my body was smarter than me? Just needed to get my brain to catch up!

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Hi all, I've been lurking. I'm a dietitian who specialized in intuitive eating back in the 80s, tho we called it nondiet then. Am looking for lists to which I can refer my clients for support and connection. I recovered from severe diet trauma many years ago and have found intuitive eating the most delicious freedom. I wanted to comment on this post. When I lecture, I spend about 1/2 hour on the problems with diets. I have all sorts of angles I use, but I find that as long as someone has any remaining belief that diets will work, they will not be able to make the shift. I'm attaching one of the handouts I use, it is from the work of Kathy Kater. I recommend her book Real Kids. I've also found that the more focused on weight a person is, the harder it becomes to free oneself with intuitive eating. I spend much time with my clients helping them to be happy and comfortable with themselves exactly as they are. Ironically, those that achieve this are more likely to be the ones that get to their natural healthy weight. When they quit trying to get there,,,it arrives!!! Thanks for all your sharing and for focusing on intuitive eating! Oh, I've got some things at my website, free, that might be helpful. And we have a monthly ezine too.
