Ep 0068 – Depression and Always Feeling Responsible. I'll Miss You Robin William

Laurie mourns actor and comedian, Robin Williams, and ponders her own experience with depression. Laurie decides to let go of feeling repsonsible for what happens to other people. For example, Laurie felt she was disappointing you on Day 67 by not being thinner. But after exploring her issues with the diet/binge cycle further she realizes she needs to be true to herself and continue on with Intuitive Eating. Laurie's super excited when Brave Companion Cathi from Connecticut calls the bravery hotline during her own walk to share her take on intuitive eating and how she really feels about Laurie's journey. Brave companions Amy and Sue also post encouraging comments on Day 67. Laurie really appreciates the support and it helps her look deeper. Welcome to new listeners Sandra and Suz who both post on Day 4, to Diane, a Body for Life champion, who posts several places to share her feelings and to support Crystal and others. Also welcome to new listeners and brave companions from Facebook, Fionna, who has a wonderful blog herself, and to Lisa, a successful loser and maintainer, who has made a decision to try intuitive eating herself. Many of our brave companions are good examples of why we can't assume people's relationship with food by their size.
