inconsistent but willing

[Guest guest]

I took Katchas advice and ran off the 10 I.E. principles and have them in 3

different places that I always go (including the car). Thank you! There is no

doubt the areas I am still not " getting " are #5-7. Like someone else mentioned,

I have not really sensed that point to stop so far. I am consciously stopping

halfway at times but it is still not clear. The emotional eating....beit

anxious, happy or otherwise is still very present. It is good for me to write

this out. I am talking to several close friends in town but they are not on the

plan. Thanks for any more thoughts. I so desire freedom from the lifelong

connection I have had between food and emotions. I am 25-30 lbs. overweight. I

know that is not the focus but I do feel bogged down. Glad to be a part of the

program with you all. Carol

Carol, consistency comes with practice. And if you can find a way to turn the

effort into either a fun or chosen way, I bet it goes easier for you too.

Diets are all about rules, compulsion, compliance etc etc. IE is more about

finding YOUR own way. Keeping things as simple and as (self) non-judgmental as

possible will help too. Myself I find it easier to think in terms of this being

a journey, especially one where I can set the pace and directions, rather than a

program which feels more 'set up' for me ;-)

Keep posting. I look forward to hearing about your IE journey too.

Best wishes - Katcha
