Learning to Stop Eating...

[Guest guest]

I've been working at IE for a couple weeks and have really tuned into my hunger

signals and honoring them. I'm really having a hard tuning into my full signal

though! I'm finding that once I start honoring my hunger signal I just don't

want to quit eating because it taste so good! I think I find this mostly when

eating out and knowing it's something that won't taste good left over so I just

continue to eat because at the time it tastes so good but then I realize 1/2

hour later I'm over full and shouldn't have ate so much and then start feeling

guilty about it. I just don't know when to quit eating. At least when I'm

hungry my stomach growls! lol. I did read something somewhere that said to

portion your food off on your plate and when you've eaten a portion of it to

check in with yourself. I do find that I do check in w/ myself and their are

times I say that I am full but I just don't want to quit eating because of the

pleasure I get from it. So if anyone has any words of advice, I 'd love to hear

it!

Thanks,
