Guest guest Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Woot woot! I'm so excited that you noticed this! Yay!Patti Every day my awareness of what works and what doesn't is upgraded even if ever so slightly. This morning I struggled with what to eat for breakfast as the diet police didn't like my first choice. But I caught that and ate what I'd originally wanted. A little more than halfway through came the sigh. I ate a couple more spoonsful and tossed the rest. Felt just right. I've often sighed at some point when eating (maybe always?) and simply never thought that it might mean somethng about my hunger actually being satisfied. Wow. A sigh is such a great indicator of contentment and pleasure which I didn't think I would know how to find, but it's already there and I've been ignoring it. This is great. Sandarah > >> > > > >> > > I am experiencing a new thing. That of stopping before I get sick. Maybe it's not soon enough, but I am realizing that at a certain point I've eaten "too much," and I don't feel good physically after that. So I'm learning to stop before that moment, in other words, before I recognize I've eaten enough to make me sick. I'm still full, though, and sometimes I am sick to my stomach, or in my stomach, and of course, that's not a good thing, but at least I'm more cognizant of the point at which I need to stop so that I don't get sick. I have to keep working on it, though, I'm far from "there." Tai. > >> > > > >> > > >> > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 This is definitely something that I'm also going to try. I cannot believe that seemingly normal signals like hunger and satiety can be so difficult to spot. Shows you how out of practise one can become because of years of not listening!

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Wasn't it nice when we were like little kids regarding eating? Who thought of overeating? Not me ... I ran around, played, did my thing, when I got hungry my mother fed me, maybe had a healthful snack for me (she was always health conscious). I was as skinny as a stick and never gave a thought to it. Whoever thought of "over"eating? Not me ... but now ... after all these years, I have to regroup, restructure my thoughts. I don't like this -- just like I didn't like the strain it took for me to stop smoking. But I did stop smoking, and I'm hoping that I can put the curb on my overeating as well.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Tai, I was always over weight since I was a baby and I developed a taste for sweets and treats very young. Still fighting that issue. Sandy Wasn't it nice when we were like little kids regarding eating? Who thought of overeating? Not me ...
