Re: Wanting to return to dieting....but thankful you all are here...

[Guest guest]

, I was thinking about that last week too, but it passed eventually.  If we can just notice those things without judgement and remember it is a journey with ups and downs.  We will have those kinds of days but they will get less and less. I thank you for reminding me about the definition of insanity.  Sandy

 

I am really struggling tonight...frustrated with my weight and health, doing too much " emotional eating " ....not listening to my body...disregarding IE in consideration of dieting yet again...

The saying of " the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results " keeps running through my mind.

But I am down and depressed...I know I need to focus on the hope and peace that comes with IE, but while I know that in my head, my heart is at war with it...and wanting to retreat to the dreamed of magic of dieting.

Thank you, Katcha, for suggesting a review of the principles here. I think it will help.

I've been there many times...reconsidering a diet. In fact, about 2 months ago I did go back on low carb. The first day of it I was really depressed thinking about all the things I couldn't eat and stressed about how I was going to find the right thing to eat at certain places. The diet lasted 4 days and I coudln't take it anymore. Now anytime I contemplate about going back on a diet I remember the feelings I had when I did and do I really want to put myself through that again. Plus any diet I've ever done and lost weight on only ends w/ me gaining the weight back. I believe being intune with our bodies and listening is what will work for life...it's impossible to stay on a diet for life. I've also been doing some meditating when those emotional urges hit. I just sit with myself for about 5 minutes breathing in positive energy and exhaling all the negative. Sometimes we just get caught in that viscious

cycle and we need a minute.

The mere idea of going on a diet makes me panicky--kind of like the idea of not

being able to breathe, so I know I'll never do it. But there are smaller,

insidious ideas that creep into my thinking-- like how many calories something

has, and maybe I shouldn't have had that_____(fill in the blank). I've never

wanted to do anything that I couldn't see myself doing for life, and as you say,

no diet is going to make that.

I like your idea of taking a few minutes to meditate. I'm going to see how that

works for me.

Thank you, Barb, for your encouragement and for sharing your continued

reconsiderations. It helps so much to know I am not alone. I do need to

remember the feelings and experiences of dieting and keep myself centered on

what I know is best: IE.

The last few months have been particularly stressful and I have handled them by

lots of stress eating. The added weight gain from the eating is making me panic

and reconsider dieting. But I know I need to breathe and move forward....

Thanks again,

Thank you, Tilley, for sharing.

I understand your sense of panic at the mere idea of a diet. I find that even

when I try to " follow all the principles of IE " I can start to approach it like

diet mode and it creates a similar panic. I would love to track what I am

eating, when, and why...to tackle my " emotional eating " and hunger levels....but

quickly that turns into me " inadvertently " noticing calories, etc.

I need to breathe, release....and let go....

Monday I went to the zoo with my daughter and grandson from 11am to 5pm.  I had eaten at 7am before we left.  We did not really get a chance to eat a meal until 2pm although I did have a small snack.  It was hot and we walked that whole time.  That was a lot for me since I have not been able to do much walking. I managed to have another small snack about 5pm and we got home at 7.  I did eat some supper. Then I spent the rest of the night eating whatever was available and feeling guilty and lack of will power, failure, etc.  The next day I realized my body was trying to tell me it needed more food, input and water. I will try to remember that sometimes it is my body wisdom leading me.  Like at 4pm daily when I crave food, a carb and protein with a little fat do well.  Sandy
