Guest guest Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 Trust me I'm not from anything like that. Shoot I can barely afford the food for this diet lol. That's what a credit card is for I guess lol. I'm not trying to destroy anything. I'm battling with the diet myself.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Good point. I learned a lot of my eating behaviors in childhood, taught them to my kids and hear my daughter doing the same to my grandchild. One of the funny things is that he does not really like sweets much and it is hard to bribe him with " if you don't finish your supper, then no dessert " . He is often just fine with no dessert. Once when he wasn't eating too well, his mommy insisted he eat one bite of " green bean casserole " . Well after much to do he put it in his mouth, gagged and threw up. We were at a Thanksgiving family dinner too. It was a good lesson to listen to his cues also. When he is constipated, which is often, or sick he has almost no appetite. As adults I guess we are afraid of ? if he doesn't eat instead of trusting that he will be ok if he misses a meal or doesn't eat much for a couple of days. Then he catches up and can't seem to eat enough. We can learn a lot from " young " kids if we haven't spoiled their natural intuition. But that's not to blame our parents or anyone. We did the best we knew how. Anyway I can sit back and see through the eyes of my grandchild. Just hope I can apply it to myself. Yesterday and today I have not been feeling very good, allergies I think. I have little appetite so I am honoring my body's need to eat light and take it easy. I slept till 10! But I know I needed it. I was thinking about when my kids and grand kids and great grand kids were infants and would cry. What did a lot of us do to keep them quiet? We stuck a bottle in their mouth assuming they must be hungry. I can laugh at that now but it really isn't funny. It set up a lot of us for a lifetime of over eating. Sorry for going on so long. This is just my history, although others may have have the same experiences. Sandy If any of you have seen the movie The King's Speech there is a very good line in it that I am finding also applies to IE. In the movie the king tells the therapist that he has 'always stammered'. To which the therapist replies " I assure you that no infant stammers. And from my experience stammering seems to begin around age 4 or 5. " In other words - stammering is a LEARNED behavior. So too must our eating habits be. Unfortunately it seems to me that our learning - other than natural instinct of hunger/satisfaction - begins much sooner than ages 4 or 5. Mothers become the encouragers of that change by scheduling and/or determining how much and what the baby 'needs' to eat. And as we move from milk onto other foods, additional 'rules' - clean plate, dessert, snack or not, what when where to eat get heaped onto the 'rule' pile to further confuse and mask our internal signals. Is it no wonder that we have such a very difficult time reconnecting with those subtle signals?!? Katcha IEing since March 2007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 I remember them telling me I needed to wake my kids up to feed them when they were little. I was resistant, but I'm such a rule follower, I did it. It's so dumb. Like they wouldn't wake up if they were hungry? I was also convinced that I wasn't producing enough to satisfy them so I supplemented with formula. They were so not starving.
