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. For the protection of the community, after minimum approved posts, members will be able to post independently, edit their profile information, or message the moderator with community concerns. Content will always be monitored and is at the descretion of the moderator.

Cope with Your Emotions with Kindness Community
First, recognize that food restriction, both physically and mentally, can, in and of itself, trigger loss of control, which can feel like emotional eating. Find kind ways to comfort, nurture, distract, and resolve your issues. Anxiety, loneliness, boredom, and anger are emotions we all experience throughout life. Each has its own trigger, and each has its own appeasement. Food won’t fix any of these feelings. It may comfort for the short term, distract from the pain, or even numb you. But food won’t solve the problem. If anything, eating for an emotional hunger may only make you feel worse in the long run. You’ll ultimately have to deal with the source of the emotion, as well as the discomfort of eating beyond comfortable fullness.
