Introduction-Kim

[Guest guest]

Hello! I am new here. I am 32, my husband and I have 3 children who are 9, 5

and 17 months. I live in Florida. I have found this site from some search I

did about Thin Within. I have been in Thin Within forums and studies all year.

The beginning of this year I started with Weighdown Workshop and this type of

eating and then realized it was not a good program for me and moved to Thin

Within. I lost all of my weight and got down to my original size. Since then I

have slowly put back on 20 pounds, due to me eating past full. I know this. I

am looking forward to being part of this group and encouraging and being

encouraged. I have made a lot of things legalistic and I believe that is making

me to be less successful. I am ready for this new journey and this new year of

freedom from emotional eating or overeating, as food does NOT do a thing for me

if I am eating more than my body needs.

Blessings!

WELCOME, Kim! I remember you from your TW posts and love having you here. As a

longterm TW member I want to assure you that you will find much more gracious

support than legalism on this board. However, you will also find specific

suggestions about how to eat intuitively from board member posts, info in

'Files' and 'Links'. If you have not read " Intuitive Eating " by Tribole and

Resch, I suggest you do so. I had only skimmed through that book years ago.

However when I joined this group, I decided to read it cover to cover. Although

I had practiced intuitive eating for many years, I was amazed by the ideas about

why we have eating difficulties and the suggestions for learning to eat more

intuitively. Although I love encouragement, I needed specific tools to change

my eating habits. The IE book describes lots of specific techniques.
