I love the idea of a white board on the fridge! I need to do something like that. After getting fired from my job in October, I have been prone to way more overeating and emotional eating then I’d like to admit. I think it would help me a lot to write my feelings down.

I love how honest you are about your IE journey. It’s very inspiring.

And, I think Silk Nog should always be consumed via carton. It is just too amazing to go through a cup-middleman

Following your journey toward IE is great. Thank you for your honesty. It is easy to relate to you because like me, you have days when it is easy to follow IE and days when its harder.

Wow, I feel like this post could be about me! I really need to read about someone who struggles with IE (like me). Sometimes it’s really hard to read all the food blogs written by really thin girls who hardly eat. (Not that you’re fat- hopefully you know what I mean).

I’m with you Julie– I am totally in the eat like a mad woman phase. Ugh.

How lucky that you actually received therapy from the author of that book??? Talk about getting feedback from a pro!

I think it’s great that you can write your feelings for your husband to see. I think that shows how strong your relationship is. Your lucky to have such a great guy!

I know I overeat the second I get stressed. Whenever I have an assignment to do, I eat like crazy (seriously I gain almost 20lbs while writing my thesis). I wish I could tell myself to just cool it and that it’ll get done and that a brownie really isn’t going to make me feel any better or write my paper for me.

I can’t wait to be done with school!

We all have weekends like this… I think the board idea is really great. I’m a college student and have been reading your blog for a few months and absolutely love it- you may see yourself as a sometimes crazy girl with up and down eating habits, but to me you are someone to look up to food/fitness wise and an amazing athlete. Thank you for inspiring!

You have really come a long way. When did you realize you were in the 3rd stage? how long were you in each stage for? I think I’m still on the 1st “eat like a madwoman phase”

Great idea with the board on the fridge, right out in the open! I tried keeping a notebook, but it just seems like more of a hassle to dig it out of my purse and find a pen and write. But if it’s right in front of you, that sounds so much easier. Especially when you open the fridge for a snack and then look at the board and realize what you were feeling earlier, and maybe prompt you to write something instead of eating.

BTW – I had Pei Wei yesterday too! Guilt-free.
