member of WW..and wants me to be too... I have told her about this method..but

she doesn't believe it.

on and off diets since I was 12 years old. I found Geneen Roth's " Feeding the

Hungry Heart " workshop cassettes at a salvation army about 5 years ago. It was

the best $1.00 I had ever spent. I have since still been off and on diets but

still go back to those cassettes and I also have bought all her books.. and the

intuitive eating book and a book called diet survivors. I am trying to restart

this.. I am now " stuck " at weight watchers .. since this past July.. I promised

a friend I would do it with her. I have lost some weight .. but the counting

points thing is driving me crazy.

Hello. My name is and I am just really starting to learn about the

whole intuitive eating thing. I have been struggling with my weight ever since

I can remember. Growing up with a mother who always tried to control the food I

at which lead to me sneaking and hiding food, it is pretty easy to say I have a

hate relationship with food and weight. Also, with the predominate threat of

type 2 diabetes that runs through my family history there is even more stress on

the need to lose weight and become " healthy. " So I have been trying alternative

methods and my acupuncturist/ alternative health doctor suggested intuitive

eating. It has sounded very interesting so I wanted to reach out an give this a

shot.

Oh and the other element in my weight is that my life is schedule from today

until forever making exercise and organizing what I eat difficult. I work a M-F

9-5, am pursuing an anthropology certificate, work in the evening and weekends

on theater productions, and teach ice-skating.

Well anyways, I wanted to say hi and that I am very excited to learn more about

this whole process.

Welcome , I'm sure you will find lots of support here and no one to tell

you how, when, what to eat. If you ask for specific feedback, you will get that,

but no 'advice' (aka shoulding) giving goes on here as the general rule. Jump

right in and is you can take the time to read back a day or so of posts, it

could help you see what this group is like.

BEST to you, Katcha
