Guest guest Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Hi Dawn, This is so encouraging, to read post like yours! Keep up the good work. Nat Subject: Crazy...To: IntuitiveEating_Support Received: Thursday, October 2, 2008, 12:11 AM The craziest thing happened out of the blue...I have been waiting for hunger first thing in the morning prettyconsistently these past several days. That's because once I startedlistening to my body, I realized that I really crave a piece of toast,buttered with real butter, and topped with scrambled eggs forbreakfast. I'd rather have this for breakfast more than anything elseon the planet right now! So I'm patient and wait for hunger, andthen I indulge myself. I do have trouble if I don't have eggs, becausethen I start my day not truly satisfied, but if I have eggs, the firstmeal of my day is a happy one. :)This has been getting easier and easier. Anyway, two days ago, I was having my usual mid-day eating fest when Irealized that we were going out for pizza that night. Without evenreally thinking about it, I decided I'd better stop eating if I wantedto be hungry for supper.Uh...WHAT?!? !?!?!?I stopped eating without any deep thought because I wanted to be hungry?Oh my word!And it felt so...I don't know...normal?So I just stopped eating. Wasn't truly hungry for supper because of mycrazy eating before "the moment", but nevertheless, I was mildlyhungry when we went out.Well, thinking it was probably a fluke, I just took it as good butrealized it might not happen again for awhile.Yesterday, it happened again.And today.Oh.My.Word.I'm waiting!!! I'm waiting!!!And then this evening, I was snacking a lot like I normally do, and Irealized I was feeling pretty yuck. So I realized I'd better stopeating for today.No pain with it, just stopped.Again. :)I'm sitting here typing with a glass of cool water. No food on my mindand darn content.YES.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 How fabulous! I've also started to have similar moments when I realize that I don't need to eat and I'd rather wait for my hunger. I rejoice in waiting for my hunger unless some emotional state has me gravitating toward food. The ability to feel and recognize my hunger feels like such an accomplishment and makes me feel good too! Latoya So I'm patient and wait for hunger, and then I indulge myself. I stopped eating without any deep thought because I wanted to be hungry? > Oh my word! > And it felt so...I don't know...normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
