Hi, my mane is Sophia and I am new to this group and to IE. I too

read

an article in Health magazine (a month or so ago) and began to

research

the internet. I found the IE website and requested the book from the

Library. I have had the book for a week now but have not read it. I

will start today. I find that I am good at many things and/or

responsibilities in life, but that I am usually last on my list. I

have

always struggled with body image and dieting. I am tired of it. I

want

to learn to truly honor my body and hunger as well as to become

healthy

and strong physically. I am currently at my highest weight (without

child) 30lbs overweight. That is a lot for a small framed person. My

back is constantly out and my neck and shoulders are in constant pain

due to the extra weight. I am recovering from surgery due to a broken

foot (I believe due to extra weight) I just started walking on it 5

days ago. It is intersting learing to walk on it again. I feel that I

have hit a bottom health/fitnees wise and am ready to change. I look

forward to learning and growing healthy with IE. I believe that being

a

part of this group can help me to stay on track. My MO is to do real

good for about 2-3 weeks, then it's back to putting me last on the

list. So hopefully, this not being a diet, but a way of life, I will

find lasting change. Thank you for listening.
