Guest guest Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 One of my best used IE 'mantras' is recognizing INternal vs. EXternal directions regarding my eating. Initially that brought up a vision of a battle between ME and so-called experts who wanted to dictate to me shoulds and oughts for my eating. This 'line' has served me well in helping me to keep my focus more IE than diet mentality driven. As I have struggled to reacquaint myself with my own INternal signals desires and drives, I have come to find that I also have a 'line' - within myself' that I have needed to acknowledge and come to grips with. And that line is about at my neck ;-) If I eat 'from the neck up' I find that I am taste and thinking directed (shoulds & oughts). But if I eat 'from the neck down' I am responding more to what my body (overall, head included!) needs and appreciates. Its wacky that I have such a division within myself, but there it is and now that I can 'see' it, I have a better chance of reuniting all of elements that make up this complicated critter that I am. And eating can be the olive branch for achieving this too. Wow, another gift from IE - lucky me :-) Katcha IEing since March 2007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
