sanamu. great response and it has given me a lot to think about. First of all I too notice that with some foods I do not have that same urgency and eat less. I too often feel like I can't trust myself and get out of control around certain foods. I like your comment about that you will not become afraid of food or let them become forbidden. And that you don't want to live your life afraid of food or afraid of yourself around food. Thanks for sharing. Sandy

I haven't given in to the notion of throwing out my M & M's even though I have secretly tried to swear off them from time-to-time in spite of believing that would only make matters worse. I noticed today that my stash is getting kind of low and I will go out and buy another big bag. I'm eating them less often and with less of a sense of urgency; but I do eat them even though I wish I wouldn't....

One of my long-term battles has been with the belief that I'm out of control or can't trust myself around certain foods - and so I'm keeping these stinking M & M's stocked until I can finally lay that to rest.

Sometimes they're great and I eat only some; sometimes they're not so great and I eat a bunch anyway because I'm rebelling. But I will not let myself become afaid of them or move them to forbidden. I do not want to live my life afraid of food - or afraid of myself around food. Good luck with those pistachios.

Hi again, sanamu. Like you, I don't want to be afraid of foods I enjoy. There is such a sense of freedom to know that we are "allowed" to choose what foods we REALLY want to eat. I appreciate Sandy's comments as well regarding not eating those things we might THINK we will enjoy, but really do not. I was never a big candy eater, my husband was. (He now has sworn off since he has developed difficult diabetes. Never thought he could do it.) Anyway, when I first learned about IE, I bought loads and loads of candy. I mean loads of it. I put it in a drawer and any time I felt like it (hunger was not part of the equation at that point), I'd take a few small bars until I didn't want any more. What was so interesting is that I never really enjoyed the types of candy I bought! I can look at candy ads now and think: "eh...not

that good..." because I've tasted just about anything chocolate. Some candies are better than others, but for the most part -- eh. Not impressed. :-) Take care.

Sandy << sanamu, Tai, I liked abby's comment about having bags of pistachios around, so many that they would lose their power. I will have to think about that with regards to my "temptation" foods. Sandy>>Yup. the pistachios are still here, have not dipped into them yet and who knows? there's always later, lol. Tai = P.S. I don't even feel challenged to not eat them. They're not yet singing to me in an irresistible voice. Neither is the ice cream. I thought about you when I was eating the ice cream at the restaurant today, and thought, hmmm I'm enjoying this so much maybe I should buy some, but then I thought -- nah ... I bought ice cream and still have it in the freezer and haven't touched it for months. Tai

Tai, Glad you enjoyed it. Sandy

Sandy, today I thought about you at lunch. Because I was so hungry and simply had to eat and went to a Chinese buffet. I loaded up with only one plate full, and decided I did not want any more. But then came the ice cream. And it was soooo delicious. I enjoyed every mouthful. :-) Tai

sanamu. great response and it has given me a lot to think about. First of all I too notice that with some foods I do not have that same urgency and eat less. I too often feel like I can't trust myself and get out of control around certain foods. I like your comment about that you will not become afraid of food or let them become forbidden. And that you don't want to live your life afraid of food or afraid of yourself around food. Thanks for sharing. Sandy

I haven't given in to the notion of throwing out my M & M's even though I have secretly tried to swear off them from time-to-time in spite of believing that would only make matters worse. I noticed today that my stash is getting kind of low and I will go out and buy another big bag. I'm eating them less often and with less of a sense of urgency; but I do eat them even though I wish I wouldn't....

One of my long-term battles has been with the belief that I'm out of control or can't trust myself around certain foods - and so I'm keeping these stinking M & M's stocked until I can finally lay that to rest.

Sometimes they're great and I eat only some; sometimes they're not so great and I eat a bunch anyway because I'm rebelling. But I will not let myself become afaid of them or move them to forbidden. I do not want to live my life afraid of food - or afraid of myself around food. Good luck with those pistachios.

Thanks again, Sandy. I agree that times and flavors change our perception of things. TaiTo: IntuitiveEating_Support Sent: Monday, August 15, 2011 8:12 PMSubject: Re: Re: Question about timing...bedtime snacks... M & M's
