Re: Weekly IE Principle Review

[Guest guest]

This is the thing I had already decided to work on this week. I am pretty good

on the noting hunger end, but I almost always continue eating past the satisfied

level. I really need to ask myself why. Is it because I am enjoying eating it?

Because I don,t know what to do when I am done eating? Am I avoiding something?

Or do I have some kind of future deprivation idea lurking in there somewhere?

It is sure worth thinking about....

This article sounds very much like many of the posts here. I thought the

Comments to the article as much, if not more, insightful.

> Honor Your Feelings Without Using Food

>

> Find ways to comfort , nurture, distract, and resolve your issues without

using food. Anxiety, loneliness, boredom, anger are emotions we all experience

throughout life. Each has its own trigger, and each has its own appeasement.

Food won't fix any of these feelings. It may comfort for the short term,

distract from the pain, or even numb you into a food hangover. But food won't

solve the problem. If anything, eating for an emotional hunger will only make

you feel worse in the long run. You'll ultimately have to deal with the source

of the emotion, as well as the discomfort of overeating.
