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

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!

WELCOME!! As Eliza mentioned, there are several members of this board who eat

intuitively while coping with type 2 diabetes. I don't have type 2 diabetes, but

I do have celiac disease and 7 food allergies, which restrict my food allergens.

However, I freely eat any foods to which I don't have diagnosed allergies. In

fact IE helped me looked for substitutes for my favorite foods, after my

diagnoses, rather than unnecessarily restrict foods but not add other non

allergen foods to my diet. I considered those allergy diagnoses helpful

information about what foods feel good in my body, rather than just taste good

in my mouth but cause pain later on.

So if you have medical restrictions for coping with type 2 diabetes, consider

those 'restrictions' helpful information to help you choose foods that your BODY

likes, because it feels better after eating those foods, rather than just foods

that taste good, but damage your body. That will more easily help you decide

'what' to eat, while you learn when (you're hungry) and how much (until you feel

full) to eat.
