Integrating IE: 10 Principle Response...

[Guest guest]

As Katcha posted earlier this week, a group of us will be discussing

the book When Women [People] Stop Hating Their Bodies (WWSHTB) on the

Long Haul group. Last August, we created a thread of messages focusing on one of

the 10 principles outlined in the book Intuitive Eating by Tribole and Resch. Posting

about each IE principle and reading other members responses is a really great

way to support the integration of IE into everyday life especially for newbies

and a good review for more seasoned IErs.

Arnie facilitated a weekly principle response process last

year. I’m posting to see if anyone is willing to volunteer to facilitate

another response cycle for the 10 principles starting July 1? Basically, to

re-initiate the thread, a member simply needs to go to the first message of the

thread and reply to it. So, the volunteer would re-initiate each thread one

week after the other.

We’re thinking it might be helpful to stay mindful of the

principles on a monthly basis. So starting next year, we’d like to give some attention

in January (Diet Mentality month) to Principle 1: Reject the Diet Mentality, associate

principle 2 to February, etc and see if that is useful for the group. There are

only 10 principles in the Intuitive Eating book. So, we can play with the last

two months.

10 Principle Threads:

Principle 1 - "Rejecting the Diet mentality"

starts with message #16826.

Principle 2 - "Honor Your Hunger" starts with

message #17023.

Principle 3 - "Make Peace with Food" starts with

message #17267.

Principle 4 - "Challenge the Food Police" starts

with message #17462.

Principle 5 - "Respect Your Fullness" starts with

message # 17630.

Principle 6 - "Discover the Satisfaction Factor"

starts with message # 17830

Principle 7 - "Cope with Your Emotions Without Using

Food" starts with

message #18003

Principle 8 - "Respect Your Body" starts with

message #18106

Principle 9 - "Exercise-Feel the Difference"

starts with message #18260

Principle 10 - Honor Your Health--Gentle Nutrition starts

with message #18549

If you are new to the group and would like to read previous

posts about a principle, you can go directly to the first message of the thread

and then scroll down to the bottom of the page to see many of the posts in that

thread.
