Rebellion

[Guest guest]

Hey,

I've had a rough week. My husband left Wednesday for work and won't return

until bedtime tonight. This has of course left me not wanting to cook, the kids

don't eat enough usually to make that worth it, and also stressed and with alone

time on my hands, both eating triggers for me.

So, I've found that while I'm keeping some of the IE principals mindful, I'm not

following them well. In truth, I'm almost rebelling against them. IE: Honor

your hunger- well, um, not really. Oh, I eat when I'm hungry, I'm trying to

identify what flavor, texture, etc I'm looking for and to satisfy that, but I'm

having trouble stopping when full. I'm looking at food going, 'hmph, I want to

eat that, so I'm going to eat that, no book is going to tell me I can't eat

that. " Now, I know the books aren't saying don't but the whole stopping when

full thing, is turning into a bad thing for me right now. Anyone have similar

feelings/experiences or suggestions for me?

On the positive, you know we should try and find that bright side. I have not

eaten things when I just haven't wanted them. Like my normal cups of tea, I've

skipped those a few times, and I've tossed some sweets.

I just needed to put this out there I think, both to see it in print and to see

if anyone has any helpful thoughts I guess.
