RE: Diet Mentality -- What's Yours?

[Guest guest]

I have a lot of the same thinking as you. Here are a few of mine: * If I don't eat breakfast or lunch I can afford to eat more at supper time * I can't eat anything after 7:00 pm * I have to clean my plate....I take it I eat it * If I work out I can have more to eat. * If it tastes good it must be bad for me * If I eat a head of lettuce it is better for me than a piece of cake * I should always eat a healthy snack. I could think of tons more...And I probably will!!!! I know I am new to IE but I have been doing some reading and hope to get more information.

Even though I'm sick, I'm going to exercize because if I don't, I'll

gain weight.

Even though _____ doesn't taste good and doesn't satisfy me, it's lower

calorie so I will eat this instead of something I like.

I've already eaten too many calories for the day so I shouldn't eat

anymore even though I'm hungry.

I need to lose ___ pounds by my wedding/reunion/etc.

Why don't have I have enough will power to not over-indulge in _______?

Great question. I am going to take a different approach with this,

if that's OK. I believe that my thoughts become things. The more I

think something, the quicker it becomes something. So rather than

list all the things I am still stuck on and potentially reinforce

those thoughts in my brain, I am going to list the thoughts I now

have and will continue to have, allowing me to maintain my ideal body

weight through intuitive eating and moderate movement.

- I am an intuitive eater and I trust my body to tell me when she is

hungry and when she is satieted. I always listen to my body.

- I am radiantly healthy and I maintain a healthy body weight through

intuitive eating. I eat when I am hungry and stop when I am full.

- I accept my body just as she is. I love my curves and softness and

believe I am beautiful, no matter my size. My body is perfect, always.

- My body likes to move and dance and stretch and play. Movement is

something my body truly enjoys.

- All foods are equal. I eat whatever my body craves, whenever she

craves it because I trust my body to know what I need.

- I am releasing all the excess weight my body no longer needs and

any emotions, triggers and habits that no longer serve me.

- I am happy and following my bliss in every aspect of my life and

that shows in how I treat my body; with love, respect and kindness.

Here is my question to you ... what are you telling your mind and

body every day through your thoughts?

With support and kindness.

One day last week, I was eating dinner and " out of curiosity " I

decided to add up what would be my Weight Watchers points to see how

much I had eaten. Well, apparently this is why curiosity killed the

cat, because I figured I had had 19 points including dinner that day,

so I could still eat more " and still be good " . I ate 4 snack size

chocolate bars before I realized what had happened.

Diet mentality sneaks up on me before I realize it is happening.

Note to self: stop counting WW points!

Trying on clothes sends me into a sort

of depressive diet mentality. I have so much excess skin from losing a

great deal of weight that it is hard to find clothes that fit right.

Everything from the waist up is too big and everything from the belly down to

the thighs are snug. It is worse than getting on the scale. I tried

on clothes yesterday and I am in a slump today. The first thing I thought

of this morning was to totally stop eating, trying to find a way to never eat

again. Isn’t that crazy! I really like the clothes I have

now. I am fairly happy with myself. Of course I immediately

reminded myself to ‘take care of me’ and not to worry about it, but

it will take awhile to get over this negative feeling. Isn’t it

something how one thing can really send you into another frame of mind?

Great topic. I'm just getting my feet wet with this, so I probably

have quite a bit. My only salvation is that I never got into the

good foods/bad foods thing and would allow myself a smidge of things

that I craved when I craved them.

Probably the hardest diet mentality thing for me to overthrow would

be " I ate such a big lunch, I'll have to eat a really small dinner. "

Jenn - this is a great question! Fortunately, I have been at this for a

while so most of the diet mentality is gone, but I have a few...

If I get so busy that I don't eat and realize it later, a little

voice in my head says I should go the whole day like that so I lose

weight

There are a few foods that I really like that I always denied myself

while dieting. Although I know I can have them anytime I want, I tend to

eat beyond full, subconsciously thinking this is the last time I am going

to eat it.

Diet Coke is ok because it has no calories (I am down to just one a

day and barely craving it now :-))

I have a two page " Self Talk Quiz " where you rate yourself on

53 different diet mentality statements to see which ones you are still

believing or telling yourself. It's really interesting because you may

not even know you are saying these things until you read them. I don't

think we can attach things on this list, but if anyone wants to take it,

email me and I can send it to you.

Thanks!

Hi Gillian,

I would be very grateful if I could get a copy of the self-talk quiz you

mentioned.

Thanks,

Carmon

> * If I don't eat breakfast or lunch I can afford to eat more at supper

>time

The fully thing is that if I eat a bigger breakfast and lunch or small meals

but add snacks, I don't want to eat a big dinner. If I try to skimp during

the day I end up so ravenous I have great difficulty stopping when

satisfied.

> * I have to clean my plate....I take it I eat it

I have difficulty with this too. I have tried and tried, but it's very hard

to leave food. My solution is to take smaller and smaller portions. Now my

dinner plate looks like it barely has enough food for a 2-year-old, but I

eat it and I really don't need more.

> * If I work out I can have more to eat.

I do definitely find that I'm a bit hungrier on the days I exercise, but I

try not to view it as being entitled to eat more.
