YouTube - Thin Within Video 1a



I need to get back on track with all of this and it was really nice to see all the videos online. Maybe this is the answer to my prayers...once again.

    Hi Essy:
    Watching Pam's video on You Tube brought back soooo many memories. Did you know she was also featured in one of Gwen Shamblein's "Weigh Down" books? You may recall I led a TW group at my church for over 2 years. Thin Within was only part of my journey.

    Over a year ago doing the exercises in the "Food and Feelings Workbook" by Karen Koenig helped me to learn other ways (than bingeing or nonhunger snacking) to cope with emotions. Thin Within started that learning process, but Karen's book helped me understand why certain emotions were so painful and what I believed erroneously about 'feeling'.

    Most recently I just had to commit to not eat when I wasn't hungry and not binge when I had overeaten and didn't want to feel the guilt or stop eating. After trying everything else, I just had to learn to resist that urge to eat without hunger or keep eating past hunger. I had practiced those habits for so many years, I craved food everytime I felt stress. I just had to view nonhunger eating like an exsmoker views cigarettes. BTW I quit smoking over 30 years ago and never looked back. Maybe that was easier, because food was always my 'drug of choice'.

    When I realized I would never have a stressfree life, that anything could make me crave nonhunger eating, I had to just commit to abstain no matter how stressful my life became. I still have other bad habits. My life is not perfect, but bingeing or emotional eating are just not optioins for me anymore. Good luck with 'getting back on track'.

    Yes...I remember when she went over to TW and what a big deal it was. I liked her, she was really nice...I wonder where she's at now.
