Guest guest Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Hi Everybody! I’m finally emerging from my cave where I’ve been dealing with a bit harder recovery from surgery than expected. The good news is I think the surgery was successful because my pain is better and I don’t have a bionic leg anymore. It will be weird to go to the airport and not get frisked while everyone watches (I won’t miss that!). Thanks as always to Katcha and Eva for all their help in my absence, it was such a relief to know the group was taken care of and continues to be when I can’t be here. I’ve been keeping up behind the scenes, watching the conversations going on and seeing all the new members we’ve had come on board. Welcome to all of you! Please feel free to introduce yourself and ask questions if you haven’t already. We are here to share our experiences and also to give you support and understanding as you go through this process. Don’t hesitate to email me privately if you have any concerns or questions that you don’t want to share with the group. I wanted to send out a friendly reminder that one of my intentions for this group is to have a safe place where we can talk about intuitive eating and the challenges and successes that come with it. There has been some back and forth in the last few weeks and myself and the other moderators have been keeping an eye on it. Please remember that we are all at different stages in the process of learning and embracing intuitive eating. Within that process we all go back and forth and experience different emotions and at times it can be really hard. For many people, this is the only place where others can relate and speak the same “language”. If you have feedback to share with a member that has asked for help (NOTE: some members may just be venting and not asking for feedback or advice), please only give feedback if you can do so in a caring and positive manner. I don’t want anyone to be made to feel wrong. There are no rules in IE, and therefore there are no rules about how someone should feel or think. I understand that sometimes there may be a post that feels very “diety”. All of us have had the diet mentality rear its ugly head and I know I would not want to be made wrong, especially when already feeling vulnerable. Gently pointing it out when asked for feedback is entirely appropriate, but not lashing out or trying to teach or lecture (I know sometimes these posts can feel like a trigger for some of us, so please just delete the post and let it go – if you need to discuss it with me, I am happy to do so, but email me privately). As a coach, I don’t even do this. It’s my job to share my observations and also to help my clients find their own answers but without judgment or making them wrong. I don’t have all the answers - sure I’m an expert through my own experience in adopting IE and also through education and professional experience, but I don’t tell clients how to think or how to feel, it’s just a trigger that can lead to a setback. We can always go back to diets if we miss that J. I appreciate all of you and your contribution to the group. This is probably the most, or at least one of the most active and larger, groups in the non-diet area (and I think the best! J) on the internet. I’m thrilled we can support each other and I’m looking forward to getting to know our new members better as well as reconnect with all of you who have been here for some time. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Hi Gillian. Welcome back, even though this is the first time I've *met* you. Thank you for your words of admonition, support and encouragement. It's good to feel free to discuss topics of interest without restraint and be approached in a loving way. If a person is *wrong,* i.e., *diety,* <g> then it is good to mention it nicely. It took me a while to get here to the place I'm at now and several mentions from others that I'm appearing diety, but of course it's always easier when spoken to less frontally.What happened to your leg? I just broke my foot and so I am MUCH more sympathetic with people with foot and leg problems. Glad you no longer have your bionic parts. :-)I've been doing IE for a few months and feel I've come a long way...and now that I have a cast on my leg I am no longer able to weigh myself constantly, so we'll see how well I've done after the cast comes off in about 4 weeks. :-)CindiSubject: Hi everyone!To: IntuitiveEating_Support Date: Sunday, June 28, 2009, 9:51 PM Hi Everybody!

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Speedy healing to you! Katcha was helpful to me in understanding more about what you discussed about unsolicited advice. On prior message boards it seems that's all there is, unsolicited advice or let me teach you what I know. Unfortunately, some of that had rubbed off onto me, which is especially irritating because I, being a total newb to this, really have only so much to offer, even if asked. ;-) So it's good for me to think with what they call in karate, a beginner's mind. In fact, in karate,you are to always try to keep the beginner's mind, no matter how far along you are or how long you have been at it. And come to think of it, that's what you see in the IE'rs who have been at it a while and are successful at it. They are obviously not trying to give unsolicited advice and seem to be very honest with themselves and others about their own imperfect journeys. Thanks!
