principle number 1 - get rid of the diet mentality and the diet books.

[Guest guest]

O.k., this is my first day at Intuitive eating. I eat when hungry and stopped

when full. I ate moderate amounts of all kinds of things including croissant,

burger, chips, carrots, blueberries and cheese. I made a great potato salad with

new potatoes and red onions. I don't feel stuff and I don't feel hungry.

I am quite happy with myself, but terrified of the scale. Now, in the book I

have, Intuitive eating by Tribole, the principle number 1 says to get rid

of the diet mentality. So, I am certainly ready and willing to do so, but I have

all THOSE books, diet books, in my closet, and I really don't want to get rid of

them, most of them are recipe books too and it is just so heartbreaking to me to

get rid of them. Maybe I should try to sell them?

How did you handle that one?

Maybe I could get rid of one a week?

Donate them? Burn them? I had no trouble to rid the house of the alcohol when I

stopped drinking, now, how can't I just throw those books?

Any hints?
