Guest guest Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Rob s' free e-book, " The Overfed Head, " which Bill posted the PDF for, has some key points about internal focus, and how part of my problem is having too doggone may conflicting bits of advice and " facts " getting in the way of my decisions about eating. He says it should be simple, eat exactly what I want to when I'm hungry and only while I'm hungry. p. 97 " To practice thintuition is to regard your natural inclinations as the sole and absolute authority on what, when, and how much to eat. " p. 115 " To follow your thintuition is to reclaim your autonomy and consistently honor your true needs. It is a way of being very good to yourself. This concentration on identifying what you truly need and want is both wise and kind, and can work wonders with whatever it is that ails you emotionally. " p. 165 " ...looking for answers from anyone else - including myself - disempowers you and keeps you stuck. " This is that internal focus Katcha often talks about. Maybe I don't need to keep reading every book out there, searching for answers. Maybe I just need to slow down and savor each bite and think about when the hunger drive eases and stop then, so I don't feel sluggish and full.
