Guest guest Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 It seems that suddenly I've got this IE thing rolling, and wow. We were gone on vacation this weekend with my family. Normally this would be by far one of my biggest stressors. Instead I am finding that I am able to consistently (and even happily) wait for hunger almost all the time. I used food to numb my emotions only one time just briefly, but otherwise I used my words and I survived. I'm now trying to recognize my fullness and realizing that when I do wait, the feeling is better than any stuffing could be. Wow. I had NO idea that things could be so good eating like this. That I could so fully enjoy food. And that I could so fully enjoy LIFE. The other thing I'm realizing is that I really don't have THAT many hard emotions. I've lived years and years believing that I couldn't survive without numbing myself with food, only to find that in reality, most of the time my emotions are very stable. And even more amazing has been to see that I can deal with my emotions...very well without food. I'm so much stronger than I knew. I just am finally realizing and fully embracing this person. Me.
