“It’s almost inconceivable to imagine feeling shame about what I wanted to do or not do. But there it is - my emotion, irrational or not.”

We are not taught to seek our passionate interests or follow these interests to a path of purpose. We are often not given any instructions on how to make decisions no matter how small a person perceived those decisions to be.

I honor your strength and I honor your willingness to search for change in your life. I hope the following will help in some way:

Would you consider reviewing Susan’s book in June? We would appreciate your feedback and consideration.

The body sends hunger and fullness signals in order to meet its needs, which is to keep all of its cells supplied with energy. It doesn’t notice if the body is larger than the person wants. The idea that the intuition a person has is the intuitiion to go to a much lower weight is simply false.

I want to be smaller, so I have to keep my eating habits on the weight-loss side of satisfied.
At the same time, if intuitive eating means it’s ok to eat whatever you want, it’s also ok to eat to lose weight if you want. It’s the extremes of either direction that are bad.

Obviously, looking at that chart, IE has helped you over the years… I guess I’m just not sure why you’d want to risk that by deviating from the true principles of IE.

I wish you the best… and I do understand wanting to lose weight. I just know that for me dieting will only make that happen short term.

We believe our thoughts and words are the building blocks of our reality. The following is a sample of some of the steps you may consider:

I hope some of this is helpful or sparks discussion.

Would you consider reviewing Susan’s book upon it’s debut in June?

Thank you!

I hope you don’t mind but I have been reading your blog… When I read your thing about the cheetos, it made me laugh so I thought your thoughts were worth reading.

I found your sight through the IOWL group.

I stayed off of the scale this morning and I dont plan on looking at it again until Monday morning.

Good luck in your weight loss pursuit.
