Hello!
I see that this group has been dormant for a while, but I’m writing this post in the hopes that it will become active again. My story is that I’m a cook who got tired of neglecting my health. It’s a lot of physical labor, but none of it is cardiovascular exercise. And then we spend so much time cooking for others, we don’t…

Checking In
Just saw a notice inactive groups are being deleted (inactive for 90dys) so I thought I would post something. Hope this finds everyone well. To make this post useful, I guess I'll mention I found a letter from a nutritionist to her clients who want their kids on diets. I blogged about it if you're interested.…
How did you come to HAES?
Curiosity is stalking the cat, again. How did you first learn of HAES, and how did it come to be part of your life?

Most nights, my husband and I go for a walk, and I've been trying to add in a little exercise in the morning (though, so far,…
Love your body AND lose weight?
Hi everyone - I joined today and am curious how those who follow a HAES method also balance weight-loss. My biggest struggle is feeling that because I practice body-acceptance and honestly DO love my body, I'm being a hypocrite by wanting to lose weight. My primary reason for wanting to lose weight is I have PCOS and want…
How do you set YOUR goals?
(Please keep this a judgement free thread :-) So we're all here for one reason or another. How do YOU embrace HAES and set goals? There's no wrong answer, obvy, I'm just curious how everyone else does it.
Fit Fatties
I just found this group and felt it was inspiring and thought I'd share. http://fitfatties.ning.com/
Introduction
I am here on MFP, trying to lose weight with calorie restriction, so I don't know if I am following your charter. I have tried intuitive, health-goal oriented eating, but get scared when I start gaining weight and outgrowing my clothes. I also barely qualified for private health insurance for my family a few months ago. I…
