Hi Kathi,

Can't relate to the silicon implants. But, I do remember an article published

in the last...maybe 5 mths....on an increased risk of breast cancer for thycans.

I'll find it and pass it along. I remember thinking after reading it that there

wasn't that much substance to it (my opinion). I'll find it.

Re: Newbie

Hi! I am still getting use to all this access to support. It is

wonderful. I have not recieved any responses to my question about

breast implants and iodine?? One of mine is known to be ruptured. No

surgery because it is encapsulated. Also, has anyone read about thyca

patients having 3 times the breast cancer risk????. Something to do with

the hormones we have to take. Waiting to hear from my new support

friends at Thyca.org

Thanks sandy for your quick reply. Lets hope the Dr. are wrong about the

risk. We thyroid cancer patients have enough to worry about.

take care.

Found it -

An article was published in the American Academy or Olaryngology Head/Neck

Surgery in September, 2000 about the increase risk of breast cancer in women who

have had thyca. The risk, according to this article, is due to the RAI - not

thyca itself - but, the risk in no way outweighs the good in RAI treatment for

thyca.

It’s good to meet you

Alison. I am Vicki P. (44 years old) and I have been teaching

myself IE for about 9 months now. I lost 160 pounds by eating very little

during the day and then eating way past full in the evening, but I didn’t

eat any cake, cookies, goodies, candy, chips, etc. My evening meal was

like a very big dinner. It killed the cravings so I could make it another

day. I knew the whole time I was eating that way that there had to be a

better way. When I heard of I.E. I researched it all I could and started

out in December. I still didn’t surrender to eating everything I

wanted until this summer. I was adding salad to help me because I couldn’t

stop eating at the full level. I don’t usually have any problem

stopping now at full and I don’t need to add a lot of salad. Now

I enjoy most anything. Give this lifestyle time, because I think it takes time

to set it into place after living the other way for so many years. I have lost

a total of 20 pounds since I started IE in December of last year. Some

months I was up and some months I was steady, and some months I came down. I

only weigh once a month, by the way.

Oh, I exercise also. Thirty minutes

I dance to music in my kitchen. I lift dumbbells too, and sometimes do a

walk video with Jane Austin (I think that is her name). And I try to stay

very busy.

I am excited for you. It is

so good that you are not waiting until you are in your forties to be ‘hot’.

I'm a newbie! My name is Jody, I live in WI, overweight/compulsive

eater/binger for majority of my life. Divorced with 2 kids, type 2

diabetic. I started reading Geneen Roth's book `When Food is Love'

last week Wednesday on the advice of my therapist (who I sought

specifically for eating disorders). I think I've been waiting for

this book my entire life! My issues are 100% emotional.

I cancelled my Weight Watchers membership immediately (I miserably

lost 40lbs with WW over the past 2 years). I bought two more of her

books including the `Why Weight' workbook and I'm working through

those exercises now.

So far, I have found that eating only when I'm hungry is not as hard

as I thought it would be (so far anyway). I'm surprised just how

often I'm not hungry. Deciding what it means to be satisfied is a

bit trickier. I'm struggling more with the emotional issues and

dealing with those head on instead of burying them with a binge. I

finally had to put my workbook and journal down Sunday/Monday because

it's exhausting discovering this much in such a short time!

Anyone else working with Geneen's books? I'm convinced she may have

saved my life. I'm in what she calls stage 2, which means it's the

beginning/rebelling stage and I'm working through my forbidden list.

I think it's kind of funny that I have opened every meal with a

brownie for 4 days straight….but I haven't binged since! I also

haven't gotten rid of my scale…but I did move it to the garage.

I walk everyday and one of the most exciting changes has been that

I'm no longer walking just to earn 2 points to spend on more food! I

also noticed I'm eating significantly less volume of food. I could

devour those 0 point vegetables!

I look forward to getting to know you all!

Hi, Jody! Several things you wrote resonated with me: I'm not eating the quantities of food -- the 0 point thing in WW. I don't have my exercise tied to "earning pts" either... I walk because I LOVE walking and being out with my beautiful 1 yr old cockapoo and we do 5 miles a day (split 2AM, 1 during day, 2PM). This group is wonderful and I hope you will stay with us!

Hi newbie!

I am also very new to IE - I just finished the book not too long ago

and am reading it again, primarily for motivation. I also got the

idea from Mcphee...I don't think it's pathetic at all! It

was an inspiration for me to read about how she overcame bullimia

and bingeing through eating intuitively. In fact, I like how she

lost the weight through eating normally, whereas so many celebs

starve themselves or live by crazy diets in order to stay so

skinny. Like you, I have also hated my body since I hit puberty.

The only time in my life where I accepted my size was when I weighed

90 lbs, and I only thought I was skinny because everyone kept

telling me...only they kept telling me I was too thin. So this past

year I have put on quite a bit of weight just through bingeing and

overeating. I'm miserable and self conscious and have horrible self-

esteem and body image, but like you, I'm going to work on being

nicer to myself and getting back the freedom of eating what I want

whenever I want it without going overboard or feeling guilty.

Welcome!

Hi! Wow, I could have written your post myself. I hear you--dieting,

bingeing, dieting, bingeing; the low-carb stuff; joining WW very

recently; and finally feeling just fed up and done with dieting. I'm

exactly where you are: I want to stop having food/diets rule my mind

and I just want to be normal with food.

Welcome!

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the welcome! Won't it be nice when we become normal with food? I

don't care

anymore how much I end up weighing or what size I'll be wearing, I just want to

be able to

go anywhere, do anything, hang out with anybody and not be thinking about what I

can't

eat and how embarrassing it is. Oy! I think I've avoided gatherings/activities

because A. I

was too afraid to eat in front of people and B. what if there was food that

wasn't on my

diet and it threw me into a binge? I am so looking forward to getting over all

of this.

I'm glad I'm here.

I want to be able to say the same as you.....I don't care anymore how much I end up weighing.....But realisticly don't you think you would mind if you ended up weighing 350 pounds?????????? I want to be able to not obsess about food but I also want to lose the weight I have. It isn't coming off and it really is starting to piss me off.

Trust me, I still have days where I want to be thin thin thin. I

would mind if I ended up weighing 350 pounds, but I have a ways to

go. If I gain a few more pounds it won't kill me. I've purchased a

larger size of jeans and I'm just going to wear them everyday until I

fit into something smaller. I've also stopped weighing myself

because if I know how much I weigh I freak out more. Having said all

of that, the other day I was looking through a magazine (why do I do

this to myself?) and saw a picture of Angelina Jolie and her skinny

little legs and thought 'oh !@#$ I absolutely must go on a diet!',

then I remember that the last time I went on a diet I lasted less

than 48 hours and gained 4 pounds in the resulting binge. Sorry that

you're mad and frustrated, I wish I had better advice than just be

nice to yourself, try to remember why you're doing this, and keep

coming here for support.
