Guest guest Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Are you sure you've given yourself permission to eat whenever you're hungry? It might be that you haven't yet, so you don't want to stop when you're full. If you TRULY know you can eat WHENEVER you're hungry, that urge to overeat might diminish. Just my thoughts...you can always hit the delete button! Kim H. Subject: The choices we makeTo: IntuitiveEating_Support Date: Monday, September 1, 2008, 1:11 PM I've been getting better at knowing when I'm hungry and trying not to eat when I'm not hungry - I still do occassionally, however, I no longer binge. I do not like feeling stuffed anymore. I have been noticing that I seem to know when I'm full but I continue to eat even though I know I've had enough. It seems to be a choice I keep making and I'm not sure why. Is it rebelling... so many things go through my mind but I can't put my finger on it and once I do I'll be better able to cope with it? Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? As long as I keep over eating I'm going to hang on to this extra weight and I'm not comfortable with that. It's not about the weight it's really about figuring things out and I've had many, many successes and am feeling good but this one still has me in it's grips.Thanks,J.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Wow, what a profound thought----I wonder if that would help me too. I am in a phase where I eat, get full and want to eat again, right away. I tell myself I can eat, again, when I get hungry again....but it isn't good enough. Maybe I don't believe myself, when I say it. I have had a lot of instances lately, where I have not eaten when I was hungry---for " good " reasons, of course. I really didn't think it was a good idea to eat while I was having my hair cut----I didn't have anything to eat, with me, anyway.....but I didn't go right out and eat. I put it off for at least another hour. Doing other things I just had to do before I could have lunch---and I hadn't had breakfast, either. I had my first food at about 3 p.m. Maybe my body/mind thinks I am lying!

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I've also been struggling with some overeating. I don't know how long you've been doing this, but I'm wondering if it's just part of the process. Maybe we're still working at truly buying into the whole idea of IE and still have some fear that at some point, we will no longer be able to allow ourselves to eat whatever we want. I know I really want this to work, but still have moments of fear and skepticism. Does any of that connect with you?

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 What you say makes a lot of sense. When I'm at home I have no troubles with it, however, because of the job I do it's sometimes impossible. Sometimes I have to eat when not quite hungry if I let myself wait until hungry I may get a call and be gone for a couple of hours then become totally famished.
