has anyone else worked with someone on IE? I think I've seen that people work with nutritionists and therapists. Mine is neither - just someone who's been there and done that - even though she's NEVER been morbidly obese and has never lost a great deal of weight. I have a super hard time relating to her and vice versa. She just keeps shoving it down my throat that she has worked with so many people and who am I to judge her? I'm very unhappy.
You know just because you paid doesn't mean you should go. That money is lost. No reason to make the damage worse. First of all, pesonality blend goes a long way in therapeutic relationship. Anyone with experience in that will know that not everybody is on your wave length and that's okay. She sounds so destructive. I say cut your losses. Originally Posted by jensassy

She honestly feels that the only way this will ever work for me is to have an out of body experience where I've died and how will I feel about my body now. Listen to me lady - I'm having a hard time picturing this - it hasn't happened to me so I can't really tell you. UGH. maybe it was just a bad idea to do this with her? I only have 4 sessions left, so I guess I'll finish them out and then try to just go it alone. I don't need someone else making me feel bad because I do that plenty on my own.has anyone else worked with someone on IE? I think I've seen that people work with nutritionists and therapists.

Okay that's a lot of negative self talk and it negates what you have already done. You have learned to manage this. It's evident in your own weight loss. That wasn't an accident. But it seems to me that being mindful of what we eat is really hard. You have to stay aware all the time. And that can be exhausting. Maybe forgive yourself for not being perfect.

My binging is under control thank gosh but the weight will never go. I'm very discouraged. All my mindful eating techniques are not working, I'm overeating regularly now. I've come such a long way and now I'm going to fail. I just can't win. I exercise more because I want to and then I overeat because it made me hungry. I'm trying to be on passionate but I still overeat. I'll never lean tonnage this.
Here's some thoughts....Maybe your body wasn't quite ready to lose those 5 pounds. You were sick, and now your body is trying to recover from that. Maybe eating a little more right now and gaining a *few* pounds is what your needs right now.
My mom just went through a series of chemotherapy sessions. Each cycle she would face nauseousness and would lose weight. Up to 10 pounds. Once the nauseousness went away she was become ravenous and she would eat and eat until she gained the weight back and then her eating and her weight would stabilize.
My vote is you spend some time taking care of your self and recovering before you beat yourself up.
