JOIN THIS COMMUNITY
Our Intuitive Eating Community (based on the book Intuitive Eating by Evelyn Tribole & Elyse Resch) is a safe and nurturing place -- free from "diet talk", "fat talk", and body bashing. This forum is a 'work place' for IE Journeys - it is NOT set up to 'teach' what Intuitive Eating is.
Reading the book is highly recommended as discussions do use and follow book terms and suggested practices.
It's a place to get PEER inspiration & support for your Intuitive Eating journey.
It's free to join, but you will need to sign-up. Elyse and Evelyn are dedicated to maintaining a 100% free membership.

New Member Introduction for Me
Hi! My name is Kim. I am brand new to IE, and I am currently working with an RD who has been planting IE seeds with me for a few months now.I am 59 years old and started what I thought was recovery from compulsive overeating in 2010. I thought I had dropped the diet mentality only to realize that I was still deep in it. I look forward to my IE journey with you all.See More

Any slight bit of "structure" can actually trigger a deprivation state or orthorexic thinking for me. So I need to be careful. I'm…"
Implementing nutrition and exercise
Hi :)After almost six months into my IE journey, I think I'm ready to implement gentle nutrition and joyful movement. I've been more not-dieting, while trying to listen to what my body wants, as well as hunger and fullness cues. However, I've also been very committed to allowing myself to eat whatever sounds good, as I'm trying to "undo" almost twenty years of dieting.
