Well Zara, what you describe is exactly how I feel (minus the pregnancy).
I'm deprived of socializing or having fun because inevitable SOMETHING diet related will get in the way. I'm saddled with an ugly physique, which no matter how many weeks I spend 5+ hours in the gym, WILL NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
It is just do discouraging, it makes you wish you had cancer. I don't feel like living another 50 years, I really don't. It just seems nothing I do, nothing I deprieve myself of works.
I really resent Heather, because I do think she tries to sell us this notion or belief that if we put a nice positive spin on it, we'll be fine. She makes quotes like "substitution not depreviation" or "living with IBS does not mean you can never eat out, go out, or have to be a hermit" yet despite following the EFI for FIVE YEARS that is exactly how I feel.
I feel lost, hopeless, and frankly, why they heck should I try yoga? I hate yoga, I don't feel like learning it, I'd rather spend my spare time watching TV or having fun, not devoting more time and resources to an endless lost cause. Frankly I don't get how yoga would help, the mind body link seems to me to be code for "hey we really don't know so lets throw it in this misc category".
I'd like to see what Heather would say. Glad things worked out for her, I'm still missing out on life and not getting any better.
I feel like a retard trying to do calculus. No matter how hard I try, I just won't get it, and the tutor/instructor does not get it.
