Guest guest Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Sometimes I think I still have a lot of foods to legalize. Also interesting that some foods that were " legal " some months ago are now " forbidden " and/or " bad " again. After having legalized several foods I now experience these foods as " bad " again. The only thing I can seem to justify is fatty fish because of Omerga 3 fatty acids (also I have to admit that I generally have problems consuming foods coming from animals). I definitely notice a different approach again to foods like chocolate, cake and cookies and chips. I see them as " forbidden foods " again that have to be avoided. Did anyone ever read something about " un-legalizing " food in one of the IE/ND books? I'd like to know the opinion of some of the authors. Am I simply running back to " dieting " ? Or did I never *really* legalize foods? I can remember feeling comfortably having chocolate and the like in the house. At the moment I feel like I can't have my usual " stock " of food since my husband continues to binge on the foods. I can't wait for the minute I'll have my own money again and an own little flat where I can stock up on all the foods without having " to fear " someone else will eat it or tells me " we have enough of that in the house " or " there is no money for this " . *grr* I think I have some reasons to experience a setback, but it feels so damn scary, like really NOTHING is working for me. :-/ Regards s.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 It sounds like you are 'un-legalizing' foods because you have (temporarily) lost your trust in yourself. When your self-trust level was high, they could be legal. maybe because you are worried about your exams (confidence in your competence as a student), some of that self-doubt is spilling over into other areas of your life (confidence in your competence at making food choices)? I say, during exams, eat what you need to get you through. psycho-analyze yourself when you've got more free time hugs Mikki Sometimes I think I still have a lot of foods to legalize.

Alas, I think I just realised that this " confidence " only resulted from eating what I liked AND losing weight (and not gaining back the weight but maintaining at some time). > maybe because you are worried about your exams (confidence in your > competence as a student), some of that self-doubt is spilling over into > other areas of your life (confidence in your competence at making food > choices)? I feel like I can't decide anything right now. Everything is about my exam. It feels too much of a hazzle to decide what to eat for dinner most of the time lately, as silly as it may sound. > I say, during exams, eat what you need to get you through. psycho-analyze > yourself when you've got more free time That's what I'm trying to say to myself all the time. It feels like hopping over the board of a ship and crashing hard on the water. The thing is if I don't eat the food, my energy is drained. However, my energy is also drained if my thoughts continue to deal with overeating and gaining weight. It feels like a lose-lose situation which might be why I'm completely torn. Regards s.
