Guest guest Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Good for you! What a wonderful breakthrough. Have a wonderful day. Sandy I am happy to say this is the first Thanksgiving that I have not thought about what I can or can't eat, and as a result, I'm eagerly anticipating spending time with my family, the warm crackle of a fire, shared camaraderie around the game table after dinner, and just reconnecting with those I haven't seen for a while. Even though I'm the one having the dinner, doing some but not all the cooking, I haven't gone crazy thinking about food. I am not going to " save up " to be able to eat more. I'm going to eat as normal that day and eat what I am hungry for from the dinner table. It's such a relief not to have to think about it. In addition to knowing I can eat when I'm hungry, I think the fact that my body is being fed enough every day is beginning to physiologically affect me positively, that food is becoming just food, and is not calling me.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Yeah, I've been chuckling to myself when I hear various frieds/co-workers worrying about what they might eat, can't eat, want to eat. I went to my new health club last night and this woman came running in and started exercising like she was in a frenzy. She was doing jumping jacks, working the machines at triple time - like she was in a manic episode. She was talking to the club manager about how she just " had " to work off all those calories she knew she was going to take in over the Holiday as she was panting and puffing. It was freaky. I don't know what I'll eat or not eat, I'm looking forward to spending some time with family members but the food is not a driving force, one way or the other.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I love the sound of that New Years resolutions that do not include any dieting. What a great idea! > > Some of the many things I'm thankful for: That I no longer fear Thanksgiving dinner, or Christmas dinner, or Christmas goodies. I will never again have dieting as part of my new year's resolutions. Hallelujah!!!! > > Sara > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
