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.

Maggie Rooney replied to Maggie Rooney's discussion recommitting to intuitive eating and being more active on the forum"Hi Nancy,
Thank you for your response! For me what helps me is reminding myself that if I do not have mental wellness, I do not have wellness at all. So redefining what wellness means to me has helped. Also the book Anti-Diet by Christy Harrison and…"

Hunger and fullness feels confusing
I’m struggling with honoring with hunger and fullness. I am a mom to a 4 year old and an 8 month old. I also work part time… the days are busy! I am faithful about always eating breakfast, lunch and usually an afternoon snack. But by evening I feel food obsessed. I think some of it is truly my high energy needs due to breast feeding.
