Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 It was really hard for me on NYE my sister is naturally thin and so are her husbands friends. I went and sat in the living room with her for most of the evening so i was not out in the kitchen at the " buffet " . the food was not even all that great, it would have just been a hand to mouth reaction to stand there and eat. On my way home that night i was just slightly full. The next morning I got up and drank a 1/2 liter of orange juice and started over IE. the wagon keeps coming back around so hop back on girly! R it's been hard for me to follow IE lately. i dont know what it is, the unstructured time of holidays break, being around my friends alot lately, or just frustration. but since xmas ever, ive had more days of eating pat fullness and binging than ive had of listening to my bodys signals. i really want to get back on track and continue my IE journey, but all these slips have been discouraging. how do you all resist food when your company is eating socially? -- I'm not mean, you're just a sissy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 I ate. I ate and ate and ate. I ate when I wasn't hungry. I ate because the food was tasty. And, I didn't exercise as much as usual. I didn't feel guilty. I'm at the top of my normal weight fluctuation range, but I'm not worried. The weight will come off when I get back to eating and exercising normally. You see, if you beat yourself up for not following IE " correctly " , then you're turning IE into diet mentality. It's not awful to eat for the sheer sensual pleasure of food. It's not awful to eat as a social activity. It's especially not awful if it's just for a week or two out of the entire year. > > it's been hard for me to follow IE lately. i dont know what it is, > the unstructured time of holidays break, being around my friends alot > lately, or just frustration. but since xmas ever, ive had more days > of eating pat fullness and binging than ive had of listening to my > bodys signals. i really want to get back on track and continue my IE > journey, but all these slips have been discouraging. how do you all > resist food when your company is eating socially? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 That is an excellent point Sandi! IE isn't about feeling guilty about what you eat - It is about learning to eat without guilt or feelings of " being bad " > > I ate. I ate and ate and ate. I ate when I wasn't hungry. I ate > because the food was tasty. And, I didn't exercise as much as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
