Re: true physical hunger vs. 'satisfied' sensations AND INTRO

[Guest guest]

Gosh, you guys sound so smart

I'm going to take baby steps and just do it.

My first step will be to cook dinner at 5pm no matter what. Hubby can eat when

he gets home. I love to have the family meal thing but it just isn't going to

happen all the time. Reality check.

I also will make a breakfast and lunch for me. Whatever it is. (HA! I was just

going to ask if a smoothie is " OK " , but I can have whatever I want! haha I

know, I know, as long as I am hungry...)

Thanks again, pals,

I'm on the right track!

However, one will likely discover, that this isn't as easy as it sounds.

The second thing is that the restrictions some dietician or doctor wants

to place on a diabetic might not correlate with the numbers on the

meter.

It may also throw you into full-blown diet mode again.

Sounds like an awesome first step, esp bc it's about focusing on YOUR needs. I think we sometimes eat as a substitute for self care... if we actually give ourselves the care we need, we may find we don't need food to do that for us.

Let us know how it goes!
