Hi everyone, I'm so glad to have found others to talk to about IE! I bought the book about a month ago, and I know this is the approach I need to take (at least if I ever want to be sane again)! The hard part for me has been having so many questions about the approach, and not knowing where to go to get my questions answered! A little about me: I am a wife and a mom of three (ages 7, 5, and 18 months), and I work full time. My 40th birthday is coming up next month (yikes!). I have been crazy with food since about age 18. At age 20 I spent 7 weeks in the hospital for bulimia. The purging has never been a problem since (thankfully), but I have struggled with food obsession, weight obsession, and body image problems continuously. I managed to maintain my post hospital weight for about 11 years, but then after I started having children, my weight has increased by about 35 lbs. I am completely miserable at this

point. I've done all the diets: WW, Sugarbusters, Take it Off, Dr. Phil, etc. I'm usually very successful for a while, but then I believe I sabotage myself. I really need to figure that one out, huh? I really believe that this is the only option left. However, this program petrifies me. What if I truly let go of the idea that diets work and I put everything into IE? Then what if I'm still terribly overweight in a year? What do I do then? I'm so hoping you all have insights into that. Honestly, I think it would be great to be free of the obsessions, but I wouldn't be completely satisfied if I also didn't lose weight, you know? Anyway, thanks for letting me join! I look forward to meeting all of you!
