Welcome Kim so glad to have you with us you came to the right place. EvaCheck out AOL Money Finance's list of the hottest products and top money wasters of 2007.

[Guest guest]

Kim,

Welcome to the group. I am glad you found us.

I wanted to respond to your last question about having

lose 50 pounds. I have lost almost 60 pounds doing

IE. I started my IE journey in November of 2006 and I

have lost and kept off almost 60 pounds. It can be

done and you don't have to eat all the crappy food

believe me. I eat what I have always eaten just been

more mindful of being hungry and stopping when full.

If you have any other questions for me, please feel

free to ask. :-)

And again, Welcome.

Thanks. It has been well worth the time it has taken

to take it off. I know this is the right thing to be

doing.

I am no means perfect at this and I have days where I

just want to throw in the towel and do the whole

starvation thing and all veggies and no fun stuff but

then I remember what it was like when I would do that

and I decided this is so much better.

Sharon,

This is really why I hate telling how I am doing

weight wise because I end up making people feel bad.

You have to realize, too, I have an extreme amount of

weight to lose. I am very overweight and have a lot

more to lose as well. I did not have to legalize food

because I didn't keep anything out...I just knew that

if I ate the piece of pie I wanted then I couldn't eat

anything else.

We are all at different steps in our journey and maybe

your body needed to put on the weight rather than take

it off.

There was a time when I hated to tell how much I

weighed because I was extremely shamed by the number

but I am proud to say I used to weigh 385 pounds and I

now weigh 330 pounds. That number did not define me.

And this new number doesn't either. I feel better and

I think that is the biggest achievement of this

process.

I am not sure at what weight you started this IE

journey but maybe you were underweight and this is a

way for your body to tell you this is where you need

to be.

I feel like I am babbling but I hope you continue to

work on your IE journey.

Michele,

oh I am so sorry I should have realised how you would feel before I posted

that.   I had to legalise a lot of foods and I have suffered with anorexia and

bulimia in the past so maybe my journey is just going to take a bit longer.

I

was 178lb when I started and I have just gone over the 200 lb mark. 

Michele,

I am really happy for you and really excited to read about any IE success

stories.  I know I will end up a success story too – it might just take a bit

longer is all J

Thank

you for your response

To Michele and Others,

Thank you all for your support. I have had set backs as well but I

read somewhere that we always have another opportunity to start over.

That best describes me. Thanks again, Kim

Sharon,

I hope I didn't make you feel bad....You could not

have known I would feel like this.

I just know in the past my commmenting on this has

caused some anxiety for some members and I don't want

to do that again.

I does sound like your journey is a bit different. I

am not a success story.....I am a work in progress.

:-)

Good luck with your journey and any time you need a

bit of encouragement...please let me know. I am here.

Hi Michele,I always flag and keep messages I find particularly inspiring and this one gets a flag for sure!
