I'm looking forward to reading your blog!<br /><br />I don't know why so many people are resistant to getting help. The struggle is so common, it is perceived as normal. I can only hope that those of us who do seek help and share our experiences, will speak to a reader who then decides to get help; and so on. <br /><br />I'm going to write more about intuitive eating. I got here in a different way then someone who follows the books, so my perspective on how one can get here is unique.<br /><br />Kara Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07849140037963687553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7955580886906208700.post-16967468612025262562012-08-24T17:22:44.212-04:002012-08-24T17:22:44.212-04:00I started with your first post back after your two...I started with your first post back after your two year break (link on your sidebar) and read thru to current. I did not read comments, just your posts. You do a most excellent job with your posts/writing/inner work.<br /><br />I have worked with an eating disorder therapist and a psychiatrist for much of my process and have written a lot about it too. I applaud your talking about it openly. I think most people who have struggled with their weight need outside help, but rarely get it. I can only think of a couple of us who have. It is heartbreaking to see so many struggle for years/decades. An objective eye and retraining those neuropathways makes a great deal of difference.<br /><br />I also now have a much better understanding of the intention of Intuitive eating. I have had a very skeptical eye on that topic in the past and now, from reading your posts, I realize most of the time I was only hearing a fraction of the whole. <br /><br /><br />Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05452333714845476967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7955580886906208700.post-75473824723579222892012-08-24T08:05:48.191-04:002012-08-24T08:05:48.191-04:00Found this post thru Jen.

To be very honest, over the years, most intuitive eater posts seemed to be followed with a lot if posts on CAKE, so I was very glad to see you address, so well, the junk food issue up front.

As you let go of the diet mentality, you should find yourself naturally saying, yeah, I've had enough to eat.<br /><br />Yes, me too, I ate balanced healthy meals but craved junk foods for snack. Everyday I struggled to not eat chocolate. <br /><br />It sounds like we have a lot more in common then our names. Check out my eating triggers tab, I suspect you may relate to a few of them... <br /><br />Kara Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07849140037963687553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7955580886906208700.post-44722034990210627072012-08-22T21:40:25.388-04:002012-08-22T21:40:25.388-04:00I agree!

And it is awesome being free from dieting! <br /><br />I still laugh that I discovered this mind/body distinction while researching the inutuitive eating review. How crazy is it to belong to the an ie support group and not know that distinction?

But that voice flips as you up the healthy foods, and decrease the processed foods. <br /><br />If I have a stretch of eating less healtier meals (like a couple of weekend social events) I notice the "mind" voice starts creeping back. <br /><br />When it does, I know that all will return to normal when I return to my healthy eating routines!<br /><br />KaraAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07849140037963687553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7955580886906208700.post-65991474385736326942012-08-22T12:45:32.958-04:002012-08-22T12:45:32.958-04:00This post had some useful ideas for me.

My biggest struggle so far is recognizing hunger and fullness signals. I'm going to try your idea of eating every three hours to keep my body nourished and see if I notice a difference. <br /><br />I also like the concept of teaching my body to crave healthy foods. The ironic part is I genuinely like healthy foods but at some point I got out of the habit of eating them regularly so now when I grab a snack I tend to go for something more processed with less nutritional value. Most times I'm not craving any particular food, so making a deliberate effort to eat more nourishing foods is a logical step that shouldn't result in feelings of self-denial.

You've got to think about your entire body.<br /><br />Have you actually read the Intuitive Eating book? The new edition just came out. I highly recommend reading it for yourself, if you haven't.<br /><br />This book and work saved my life. I've never felt such freedom before giving up dieting.<br /><br />There is also an online Intuitive Eating Community that you can find on the IE website.
