threw out food

[Guest guest]

Today I threw out a half gallon of ice cream that I didn't even like. And I also

threw out chocolate chips that I didn't like either, and the hot fudge topping.

I had been eating them even though they no longer tasted any good and I was

feeling miserably bloated and very uncomfortable. I did learn that I no longer

crave hot fudge sundaes. The first week I ate one almost every day. I also tried

pancakes again and then was reminded how awful they make me feel. I started

thinking about all the foods I no longer like...donuts for instance. i have to

remind myself how awful I feel after eating them. Then I can make the choice to

not have them. I am listening to my body more and when I don't I learn from it.

Tomorrow I am going out with a friend to a nice park and we are going to have a

picnic. I am going to enjoy the food. No food police on this trip. Will listen

to my body though. Thanks for listening. Sandy

My what progress you are making! I too felt it was a BIG step being able to

throw out any food at all, let alone something that I had been a 'favorite'

before. It is amazing to find that you really don't like it or that eating it

ends in discomfort not worth the taste. I know that in time I tend to forget

this lesson, allow myself the food again, and reinforce the lesson then. Its all

part of the IE process as far as I can tell.

Have a delightful picnic!
