Guest guest Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 The IE Principles are the sign posts for one's IE journey. Which way to go and the manner in which to proceed is each person's choice as there are no set 'rules', only suggestions for 'how to' from those who have gone this path before. This principle is being highlighted for this week in order to remind, encourage and assist progress in adding that practice to one's life. Sharing how one reacts - pros, cons, feelings, etc. - to this principle is helpful for all and may even be a break thru moment too. Please reply with any thoughts and remember this is not a mandate or 'pass/fail' activity but purely a self help one. This week's principle - Discover the Satisfaction Factor The Japanese have the wisdom to promote pleasure as one of their goals of healthy living In our fury to be thin and healthy, we often overlook one of the most basic gifts of existence--the pleasure and satisfaction that can be found in the eating experience. When you eat what you really want, in an environment that is inviting and conducive, the pleasure you derive will be a powerful force in helping you feel satisfied and content. By providing this experience for yourself, you will find that it takes much less food to decide you've had "enough". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 I've not focused on 'satisfaction' a whole lot in my IE practicing, but I seem to have found it anyway. My first satisfaction came from eating what I wanted, chocolate included. It was just SO wonderful to eat, even for the simple pleasure of it. Now I find I am a lot more picky about what I eat to satisfy my body. I truly want to not be nagged by either a 'feed me!' need or yucky feeling if I eat what my body does not appreciate. My first pass at this principle was with a 'this is the way my eating MUST be' attitude and it flopped - no surprise now - when I tried to force it onto myself. Hooray for IE allowing me to stumble along and still 'get' it. Katcha IEing since March 2007 > > The IE Principles are the sign posts for one's IE journey.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 You know, when I try to figure out what I want I find that I struggle mightily to not follow my first choice. Which might be the choice of my body and I'm censoring it. But I'm not sure. Though this morning I did have what had immediately popped into mind, and it was actually quite good.
