The difference between giving up Dieting and giving up Trying

Hi there!
Great post. I know from experience that I absolutely can not rely on intuitive eating, because, intuitively, my body is convinced a famine is imminent and it must save me by packing on as much fat as possible.
I hope I am not being insensitive by asking what ED stands for. I tried to google it, but I'm quite sure THAT is not what you mean :)
