Guest guest Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 What do we do INSTEAD? Can someone help me with this? I cannot help but treat IE like any other set of guidelines that should be followed with regards to my eating issues. It feels so good to follow IE, and not to have specific rules and not to be excluded from life because of some strange food plan I've been advised to follow. At the same time, I still struggle with overeating more than I get it right. " It " being IE. If I could do the healthy things INSTEAD of practicing the insane eating, life would be so wonderful. There are so many little tricks to this thing that has me by my gut (heart, etc.). Am I really hungry? What is going on that's causing me to " think " that I am hungry - or even FEEL like I am hungry? What's going on that causes me to just right out continue to eat beyond being full or stuffed? There is such a long list of things to do, and I have known these things for years. Is it time for me to finally start taking care of myself and doing them? Yes. It is. Take a walk. Take a bath. Take a nap. Take a valium. (OK - just kidding!) Brush my teeth! Call a friend. Call the dog. (OK - I do not have a dog. I have a cat.) Read. Don't read. Just sit. THAT'S IT!! Just sit. Why is that so difficult for me to do? Chime in, everyone. I would love to hear from you. Blessings for a peaceful evening, PS - Yes, It's been a while since I've posted (or read) here.
