Dear Falcor
I am an intuitive eater in recovery with type 2 diabetes. I have binge eating disorder, have had it since 1997, I tried OA and abstinence for 13 yrs which did a real number on my self esteem every time I relapsed. I went into residential inpatient treatment in 2011 and learned all about IE and that what I had been doing was restriction/diet. You are so correct in that the language of D recovery is diet centered. I had a hard time too until I realized that the food I eat is medicine for my body to function well. Some things I eat because they are good medicine and others I avoid most of the time because they impact my health. I am currently 312 lbs and losing. My dietician has respected my treatment protocol and although it’s been changed quite a bit due to allergies I still do my best to hold onto the principles I learned. Hope this helps!
