Re: Re: Advice pls....

Dawn,

Sometimes I find myself eating past fullness because I don't want to

do what comes after the meal; eating is a way to procrastinate what

comes next.

Also, I think it takes a while practicing IE to figure out when to

stop.  When I do experience the ease of pushing my plate away, it is

way more complicated than just knowing when I am full.  It is the

complex web of knowing I trust and listen to myself in other areas

of my life, not just eating.  I guess I just say that to let you

know this is a journey, and there are many pieces beyond just

understanding what it means to stop when you are full.  Continue on

your journey, this piece will fall into place. 

And for the right now, try to have some awareness that you are

eating past fullness.  And then give yourself permission to do it. 

It's OK, it is totally your choice.

This is very true for me. I know that I am always

feeling like I have to finish what is on my plate.

BUT...I went out to eat the other day and did not finish

what was on my plate. A first for me! It was great!

Now, if I could just always practice this. I also tend

to eat on a schedule and I have to stop doing that too.

Re: Advice pls....

 

Dawn - could your wanting to continue eating be

'Clean Plate' syndrome? I know that remains a

strong 'do' for me. I sometimes wonder if eating

in 'courses' would be better or worse instead of

'family style' where one fills a plate and then

proceeds to eat. I know that if I remind myself

before, or even during, eating that I do NOT have

to finish everything on my plate, I stand a better

chance of being able to do that. Its like DUH! do

I forget that I can always microwave and finish up

later if I get hungry then? And I do have 2 very

willing plate cleaners (dogs) who are more than

willing to help me 'finish' :-) Thanks for

reminding me to resume practice of this!

> I can tell when I am full I just can't seem

to stop. I guess it is just such a habit to

continue eating that it is hard for me to stop. I

do see how some of it is still last supper eating

and when I recognize that I can stop. But

sometimes....I just don't wanna stop ya know? It

is crazy. But, I don't feel uncomfortable or

anything. Or do I? I mean, to be totally

honest....I don't really know how I am suppsed to

feel. I have been doing the IE thing now for a

little over a month. I have gotten heavier and I

am okay with that. I am really just wanting to be

healthy is all. But, does a person ever reach a

point in which it is not so hard to stop eating. I

mean, if I force myself to stop I just feeling

like I am dieting. So, how does this work. Any

advice would be helpful. Be blessed, ~DawnC~
