Re: Gut instinct

[Guest guest]

Traci,

I believe that there are different intelligences all over our bodies.

When I was responding to the Principle 7: Cope with Your Emotions

Without Food thread this week, I realized even more clearly how my

hunger signals are an intelligence of their own...and how my sometimes

neurotic and anxious thoughts help create intense emotional states

that then block out or override my " gut " signals. An important part of

this process has been about relearning my gut signals and allowing

them proper influence/power in their area of expertise...balanced

eating.
