Guest guest Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Katy,Awesome discovery! I haven't heard of that one before... but it makes perfect sense.Thank you for sharing that.Best, Abby So I’ve been struggling with the whole “stop when you’re full” part of IE for a while now. But this week, I think I’ve made a bit of a breakthrough and thought I’d share. If I rely on cues from my stomach, I miss them completely. But I noticed that partway through a meal, eating starts to become more work, not as easy as it was when I began the meal. Or sometimes halfway through, I find I need to add more salt or pepper or parmesan cheese to make the meal taste as good as it was to start. It hit me – these are my body’s cues that it’s done. My stomach won’t catch up with my mouth for a while, so I have to pay attention to the mouth cues. Granted, I haven’t practiced this much yet, but the times I tried it this week, I felt full but not stuffed if I stopped when I realized the food was less enjoyable and more work that it was to begin with. Will keep practicing and update later… Katy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Good for you, Katy! That's good progress! Determining what comfortable fullness feels like for me has been a real challenge as well. You know what it feels like to be hungry or stuffed, but determining that in-between can be kind difficult for some of us. Jeanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
