Good for you! What a great change!

Good for you. I was on WW too. It's almost addictive in itself. There were

many times I would turn to their message boards instead of eating. It was

helpful in that it kept me very busy. But it was so focusing on the food and

eating in a way that made me more food obsessed I guess. So I was happy to find

this board. The ww boards move so fast and keep you so busy, I was worried this

board wouldn't. I found a similar board on yahoo and enjoy it as well. But even

both don't keep me as busy when I want to eat out of boredom. Now I have been

starting back into a hobby I used to adore, which is photography and feeling so

good about it, because i had to find something else to do. lol

Yes, the best thing about WW was the community. That's why I knew I had to find

an IE group. I discovered I need that support.

In good news, I went out to dinner tonight, felt like having a hamburger and

fries, which I did, but couldn't eat all of. In bad news, when a big ice cream

and brownie dessert came to the table, I ate my share even though I really

didn't want it. I just felt " obligated. " :-(

Congrats on the babystep . Don't sweat eating the dessert, you were aware

of why you ate it and that is an excellent place to start from. As many others

have found, over time that feeling of 'obligation' will lessen and become more

YOUR choice than not :)

Best to you, Katcha

It's all about the awareness. Alcoholics can't recover until they admit the

truth of how they drink. Check out Intuitive Eating, if you haven't written

already. If you already are familiar, just remind yourself of that principle.
