Re: Normalizing versus Legalizing...

[Guest guest]

Sorry you had a headache. I'm curious....did your craving for the snickers bars

pass?

you would find out your body doesn't really do well on that kind of thing. So

do it. Live with the sick feeling of being overly sugared adn the sluggish

feeling after the racing heart settles down. I bet you really won't want to

repeat that many times. Part of IE is to honor our bodies, so when you do eat

whatever you want, really listen to your body. How did it feel after the

Butterfinger buffet? How did it feel after the tomato and cucumber salad? How

did it feel with the oatmeal? Pay attention. You'll learn soon enough what

honors your body and what doesn't and YES you will stop craving things that

don't honor your body for the most part.

Oh yes, it totally passed. I was thinking then that if I wanted a sweet treat

that I should make something really good, like cheesecake, or chocolate cake,

but it didn't seem worth the trouble.

I've been kind of paying attention to cravings, most of which are fleeting, and

most of which are visually triggered. Grapes, cucumbers, goat cheese....yes,

cupcakes with green frosting, definitely not, lasagna...no, not really. It's

all very interesting.

All of this mindfulness while eating has been making for some great eating

experiences, but I'm also getting tired of eating, and wish I wasn't hungry so

much, so I wouldn't have to do it so often......

Thanks for asking.
