Guest guest Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 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...
