Just saying hi. New here to the group

September 1, 2009

Hello everyone. My name is Dawn and I have been struggling with my weight issues

for as long as I can remember. It only got worse after the pregnancy and birth

of my son whom is now 6. I never really heard about IE (except Internet

Explorer) until I was searching through the groups and all I saw was followers

of this diet and slaves to that routine. I can't afford to go off and do those

strict weight plans. I am just not made of money they want when you buy their

food or their books and go to the meetings just to be ridiculed if you (gasp)

gain weight.

I am currently 5'6.5 " and weight 230. I used to be 120 and I still think of

myself as if I was still hot. I hate the reality check I get every time I look

down though. I believe this place has wonderful energies in it and is something

that I can flourish in. I am looking forward to " meeting " you all.

Welcome Dawn. I think you will find that we all understand what you wrote

perfectly! As to costs, even reading about IE can be cost free if you get the

book at a library or cheap/used online. Picking on each other is NOT allowed

here whereas acceptance of you AS YOU ARE NOW, if what is encouraged by all,

especially by yourself

Best to you, Katcha

IEing since March 2007
