Normal Eating Support Forum -

Each issue of the Normal Eating Newsletter discusses an issue relevant to food, eating, or weight, and then gives you suggestions to explore and address the issue in your own life.

After the publication of each newsletter with its "homework assignment", there is a moderated discussion in the Newsletter section of the forum to discuss the exercise and people's experience with it. The newsletter is free, but you must be a Normal Eating Support Group Member to participate in the post-newsletter discussion.

Testimonials

I'm ok, food is just food. I can't believe i'm typing this, but I'm less obsessed than ever. I'm feeling my feelings, life sucks a lot of the time, and sometimes it's great, and food tastes great and is nourishing and pleasurable, but once I'm full, it does nothing to make life better. I am eating normal (for me) amounts and don't feel psychotic or out-of-control. I am not devouring everything in site, and I'm not eating like a bird.

I am truly amazed. I would really like to encourage everyone out there who feels it can't happen for them - it can, it really really can. i didn't believe it was possible, and even though i feel like i've still got much work to do, i really am able to say today that i can see more than just a shaft of light at the end of the tunnel. i have stopped searching for the answer - it's here. I know it.

When I first discovered the Normal Eating e-book a few months ago, I started reading and couldn't stop because it was the only thing I had ever read about food and weight obsession that rang true 100 percent. Since then, I've grown to take it for granted a little bit. These last few days though, I'm feeling a renewed conviction. It's not a choice anymore, it's the only way that will work for me. There is no other way out of this hole. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for providing this web site and all your wisdom.

...since i have joined here, i have had many random moments where i can see progress in ending dieting and eating normally forever. I know its going to be a LOOOONNNGGG process, but just the little postive thoughts i have make me feel like im moving along quite well! :)

I havent binged, dieted or counted calories in the past 2 weeks and i feel so fantastic!
