Multitasking (Re: Principle #1 - Reject the Diet Mentality)

[Guest guest]

Good job on giving solo eating a second go. Love that you found you didn't have

an urge to graze after wards too. You must have made more a connection of some

kind?

Don't worry about not being ready to dig deeper into a 'why?'. I know about how

to do that exercise too, but have a reluctance to it myself. My guess is that

there's a bit of fear about what I may find in the dusty and dark corners of my

psyche ;-) When the time is right, we will be ready and able to do what is

necessary to go that 'next step'. Its so easy to want to have IE immediately and

end up pushing to 'get it'. Generally that doesn't work because that reminds

about how diets 'drive' one so it can backfire too.

Just work on what interests you at that moment and let the 'lessons' flow and

rest as they will. Thanks for sharing about your mindful eating experiment. That

really helps me connect with my own IE journey too.

easier. I couldn't wait for it to be over. I think I ate faster to get it over

with. I know I didn't eat as much as usual, BUT I also didn't continue to eat

(graze) after I was done with my lunch. That's an interesting new twist.
