Guest guest Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Despite the fact that I don't feel like I'm "walking the IE walk", something about this process seems to be getting to me. If nothing else, when I do eat, I am truly aware of whether or not I'm really hungry, and that's a first in itself. A bare handful of my former binge foods are now legal. I catch myself in the act of scarfing down something and take a deep breath and think, "Hey, slow down! Taste this! Realize you're eating. Enjoy it or not, but be here in the moment, gal!" I even recognized that I enjoy eating dark chocolate chips, but not dark chocolate bars. Something about enjoying tiny little bits, one at a time, as opposed to even a mini-bar--the very texture is different. So, amazingly, I actually consume less, because I'm enjoying my chocolate more. (As a chocolate addict, this is a real step forward!) IE is somehow both more than I ever expected, and not what I expected at all. And I wonder if that's how the journey seems for everyone, or if we all have very individual experiences with this process?Delicious ideas to please the pickiest eaters.
