Guest guest Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Thanks for your comments, Jeannie, on "The Rules of Normal Eating." I have ordered it and can hardly wait to start reading it! Mikey, I do a lot of self-talk, reminding myself that there are no forbidden foods. Of course, I haven't totally mastered this step, as periodically a negative thought will sneak in. But if I choose to have that sweet, I tell myself it is okay and savor it! Principle 4: Challenge the Food Police in "Intuitive Eating" has been very helpful. Also when I do eat a formerly 'negative' food, I try to eat it in a more mindful manner, paying attention to my satiety signals and how my stomach feels. In giving myself permission to eat whatever I want, I've made a pleasant discover that those sweets I used to binge on has lost some of their allure. You know, if you give yourself permission to eat and enjoy that Pop Tart, probably that one will make you feel satisfied and do more in the way of helping you reach your weight loss/fitness goals because you're not depriving yourself. Hope this helps in some way! Good luck and don't give up! All the best, Jeanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
