Re: Hunger, the Best Appetizer

[Guest guest]

Wow, nice work. It's amazing how one even eating while distracted can be " ok " ,

once the basics of IE have been internalized. Sometimes I eat while

" distracted " sometimes not - either way, my eating is working out much better

for me when I don't have to be perfectly in control of every bite. Imagine

putting part of a B & R dessert in the freezer because you didn't want it all!

then only had enough time for fast food before we had to pick our kids up. We

ended up at A & W and I thought it would be lousy, but was amazed at how GOOD

everything tasted, just because we were so hungry.

> " Yum! " every bite! Even so, we split one combo meal and then split a sundae at

Baskin Robbins and both filled up before we were half finished with dessert, so

we put the rest in our freezer. No tummy ache!

a frightening medical emergency, with breakfast a cookie a friend handed me in

the ER at noon and lunch didn't come until mid-afternoon when I was buzzing with

stress & I was completely unable to make myself stop reading while I was eating

but still didn't overeat, I feel like this turned out to be a successful eating

day, as in I did the best I could to honor my body given the circumstances, none

of which were ideal all day long.
