Guest guest Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Hi, Katcha. Speaking of whines (which I have been doing a lot of lately), now I am going to talk about one, maybe two, "good" things I have noticed about myself lately. First off, I am on vacation, which really puts a deep strain on my eating activities, because I tend to order things from the menu I would never make for myself at home, or even order from a restaurant at home. Number two, I am noticing, after my last complaining activity (and by the way, thanks for listening), that I am more able to stop eating when I realize I'm full, or getting satisfied. And I am able to leave food on my plate without remorse or guilt, something I would never have been able to do in the past. So -- perhaps -- things are changing for the better. Thanks for all your help, and thank you also to the others participating. TaiTo: IntuitiveEating_Support Sent: Friday, July 29, 2011 12:36 AMSubject: Re: First Hello. New to IE. Welcome ! Sounds like you are giving IE a really good go. What might make it better for you is to take a deep breath and realize that you don't need to do everything all at once and certainly not 'perfect' either. Being gentle with yourself is one of the suggestions and a good one to start with. If you can select just one aspect of IE to do at a time, you may find that it seeps into your life much easier than if you try sooooo hard ;-) Meanwhile do join in with comments, questions, whines are OK too and of course crowing about any and all baby steps you do along your IE journey. Those inspire us all. BEST to you, Katcha IEing since March 2007 > > Hello, everyone. I am new to IE and still struggling a great deal. I've been trying to practice the concepts this week, and have felt OK with most of my choices. When I made poor choices, it was freeing not to go into the negative thoughts. > > Today was particularly difficult and frightening. I seem to have no "off button" with some foods. When I started eating for reasons other than hunger, I just couldn't stop - for hours. > > I've been reading all of the posts for several days. I am learning a great deal. I wonder if I've been truly hungry in a very long time. I'm not sure I know what it really feels like. I also feel VERY out of touch with fullness. I practiced a structured, weighed and measured plan for many years, and I'm afraid I've lost touch. > > Thanks to all of the experienced Intuitive Eaters for your advice and support. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
