Not sure if anyone is monitoring these comments anymore, but I came here after someone recommended your book. I only started specific diet restrictions after dealing with glucose intolerance in pregnancy. After I gave birth I got more athletic and really enjoyed feeling lean and strong. I’ve tried to keep it up more or less for the past ten years, but with my last pregnancy 5 years ago I practiced the most restriction with carbs for the sake of my baby. Since then I’ve been up and down with greater extremes until I feel like my relationship with food and my body are out of control! At the core I know I’m spiritually and emotionally imbalanced, and I’m trying endlessly to find healing for that. I’ve tried so hard to make peace with my body, and be relaxed about my diet, but for the last several months I’ve enjoyed eating everything I wanted, and I really am overeating u til I feel awful. It’s not good! Of course I miss being slim, I miss wearing my favorite clothes, feeling confident. I can’t see how not having rules or restrictions will help me!
I am new to this too. I've had my own food rules and restrictions for along time. I hope to find peace with food once and for all. I truly hope you do too.
