I too do this several times a day, so you are in good company. Life isincredibly stressful over here right now and I find myself making pooreating choices all day long. But in between, there are glimmers of whoI'm going to be some day. I wait for hunger. I think about how I wantto feel after I've eaten. I stop when I'm full. Be gentle with yourself. This is not a sprint, it's a marathon and thejourney is the goal. You can do it!dawn>> I just ate an entire can of pringles, just felt like I couldn'tstop.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 LOL. I have to say that I agree! The dieting police have tried to convince me that food is never comfort, but that's not true. Sometimes there is nothing so comforting as a few warm chocolate chip cookies, or a cup of tomato soup on a cold day!! Once in a while, it's nice to nourish our hearts, minds AND bodies with food!! Kim H. IE since Aug 08 Subject: Re: sighTo: IntuitiveEating_Support Date: Wednesday, September 10, 2008, 10:10 AM Don't stress about it. It's PRINGLES for heaven's sake, not crack!! The other day I ate a "piece" of chocolate cake the size of my head. I'm stressed about money, having to go visit my sick mother, and all the rest of the things that make me stressed. Sometimes... just sometimes, food *is* the best medicine when life gets crazy. Just know that it's what you're doing, that it's not going to kill you, you are doing the best you can, and let it go. Don't make it worse by taking that Pringles can and beating yourself with it. PS: I loved every single bite of that cake and would have kept eating if my stomach had not threatened revolt.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 I agree. When I'm sick, a soothing bowl of chicken noodle soup is very nice! My husband tells me to always have chicken noodle soup in thecupboard at all times. LOL. I have to say that I agree!
