Hi, I'm new to IP but I can tell it is really working for me, no hunger, I've never felt like this since I was young! Willpower is not an issue, I never would have believed it! Loads of energy and optimism about the future!
BUT, I know I have issues that led me to being overweight to begin with, and I had a very serious problem with an eating disorder as a teen and young adult. So even though I've finally found the diet that works for me, and I'm really motivated to get healthy for myself and my beautiful family, I'm afraid the control issues I have are going to sabotage me in the end, or pop up in a different area of my life. So if there is anything I can do to set myself up for success, I want to be proactive about it.
So my question is for those who might have had similar issues: is there anything that helped you prepare mentally for your weight loss? A book, an activity, anything?
Thanks!
