hitting dieting rock bottom...

I think that I'm finally there. I had thought previously that I was there when I first bought the IE book (Resch and Tribole) years ago, but nope.
I think that they were right, that I needed to wait until I truly hit dieting rock bottom before being ready for IE.
I'm pretty sure that this is it.
I hate counting calories and PointsPlus (I'm a Weight Watchers member) and refuse to do it forever. And I probably should have learned by now that if I'm not willing to do it forever, then it probably shouldn't be how I lose the weight.
So I'm going to give Intuitive Eating another try. This time I'm going to be extremely gentle and kind with myself, and not look at IE as a diet plan (which is the opposite of its intent).
This time I'm taking baby steps. I'm going to start with truly rejecting the diet mentality and giving myself unlimited permission to eat. I will also be working on honoring my hunger. Until I've mastered these, I will not move forward with IE. This is a life long journey, and I need to follow the steps at my own pace to awaken the IE-er within me.
Anyone else recently hit dieting rock bottom?
