Guest guest Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Hi, I'm Ellen. new to the group, and glad to know you're out there. I've been trying to follow what I call mindful eating for some years. The first time I learned it, through a workshop I took called " Free from the Fat Mentality, " I was able to practice it better than I am now. I recently did another workshop called " Am I Hungry, " which is basically the same, but I'm still in a struggle. It's great when you free yourself of all the no's. (In the first group we bought 6 each of the 6 things we liked best or knew always where to find it, so you'd never feel deprived again.) Ever since that time I've felt a lot freer to enjoy formerly restricted foods. Still, all the messages on nf & ff and calories and portion " control " swirl around in head. What I have difficulty with is eating with more attention: not snacking on all the things my teenage daughter likes (sweets) which I find hard to keep around without popping some into my mouth time and again (I work at home)...and focusing on waiting till I'm hungry enough so that I will really enjoy eating, then stopping when I'm satisfied. I hope that knowing you all are out there will help me feel supported in my IE journey, and I hope to b support you, too.Thanks.Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
