Guest guest Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Welcome Robyn. My first impression is that you've had a huge over dose of diet mentality dump onto you. Its VERY hard to not be affected by this onslaught as it has found its way into dang near every aspect of our daily lives, not to mention our own internal thinking. You have come to the right place now. Nothing like what you are bombarded with 'out there' goes on here. I am sure you will find that this is a healing place as well as one where YOU can re-set your thoughts and actions more towards IE than die-ting. BEST to you, Katcha IEing since March 2007 > > Hello all. My name is Robyn and I am in need of IE support! About 10 years ago I discovered the IE concept thru a program called Weigh Down. Thru that I lost about 40 lbs. and kept them off for about 4 years when my husband and I began trying to get pregnant. Due to fertility meds, artificial hormones and finally becoming pregnant 2 years later, I had put on about 20 lbs plus pregnancy weight. I then had our daughter and never lost much of that baby weight. Try as I might, I have been unable to wrap my mind around IE again and get it to sink in and work as well as it did when I was ten years younger. > > I know that diets don't work. I know only IE works. But for whatever reason there's a HUGE mental block for me. I can't seem to get into it. So I've come here looking for support. I'm hoping that thru this board I can learn from you all and gain support as I work to get rid of the same 40 lbs. that I did ten years ago. *sigh* > > Robyn > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Welcome Robyn! You've come to a great place. Have you read the book Intuitive Eating? It was the first book I read about IE, and I thought it was so helpful. I also read Overcoming Overeating, and I also really liked that. Everybody here is really nice and so supportive and understanding. I look forward to hearing more from you! > > Hello all. My name is Robyn and I am in need of IE support!
