Guest guest Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 I guess I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today, or maybe it's PMS, but I've had to try a little harder today to deal with emotions that have arisen unbidden. I just got back from the grocery store a few minutes ago and realized I had been thinking that I hadn't eaten yet today and I was all like " Wow, look at me wait until I'm hungry to eat. " And then I realized that I did eat this morning and I'm so disappointed because I was all proud of myself for listening to my body. And, actually, I guess I did wait and I did listen. I think the disappointment stems from earlier thinking that maybe I could slip in some tasty, forbidden foods because I hadn't eaten today. Silly. That's not the kind of thinking I want to encourage. When I realized I HAD eaten, I was tempted to eat MORE. There was a box of yummy cheezits sitting right there. So far, the box is still sealed. So if I'm practicing Intentional Eating, I guess I can eat if I want to, eh? Or I can not eat if I decide to. I suppose the idea here is that I don't have to make any rules about it. I find it quite difficult to refrain from making rules. Even making rules about making rules. I'll live. There are people with much worse problems than I. I will try to put this in perspective and be a grown-up about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
