Hmm...well maybe instead of thinking of this as the Intuitive Eating diet, just narrow it down to 2 questions. Before you eat ask yourself if you're really hungry. And while you're eating, just check in with yourself and see if you are still hungry. That's what I do and it helps me to reinforce it as changing unhealthy…

Hi Aspieb. Sorry you are struggling. That's how it worked for me and diets where I couldn't eat what I wanted - I'd start thinking about all the foods I couldn't have and craving them. I like this "diet" much better since I can eat what I want, I just try to pay closer attention to my body and when I'm actually hungry and…

Hi! I'm here. Sadly it doesn't look like this group is very active. If it really is this inactive, we could just friend each other and give each other support that way if you like.

Hi everyone. I am in Laramie, WY and was pleasantly surprised to see a group here for people in Wyoming. It looks like a few people joined recently, so maybe it will be more active than it has been. If anyone is in Laramie and wants to get together for cross country skiing, dancing, or going to the rec center, let me know!…

I know what you mean about Facebook! Feel free to add me. I just recently started back with MFP and I could use some friends too. :-)

Feel free to add me. I binge too, but on ice cream! Well, not anymore. :-)

I'm curious what you mean by a challenge group. I am up for anything that keeps motivation level up and provides support for those involved!

Thanks for the replies! I'll check into the links you posted and see if one of those will work for me.

I am SO sorry people are doing this to you. Unfortunately you hear all that crap, when that might be 1% of the population. And you don't hear the other people's thoughts who are nice. People who can identify with you, or people who have some awareness of what heavy people go through, or even people who just don't think…

Good luck! I just started yesterday and it really does look like a good platform.

Thanks to all who responded. You have given me a lot of good things to consider! Riccoismydog – what you said about addiction really gave me a sense of urgency about changing the situation. Esp. about use increasing as addicts compete with each other. I knew this was unhealthy for me and I needed to change something, but I…

Thanks, runninginalas. It's nice to hear from someone who understands & has been in a similar situation. Setting food parameters sounds good & logical....but what do you mean by that? Can you give some examples of parameters you have set that have helped you out of the food-free-for-all type of environment?

She is overweight - borderline obese. I don't know if she's gaining more or not.

I'm new as of today too. Feel free to add me!
