Guest guest Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Ok, this had me just about snorting my tea out my nose! Thanks for a great laugh, Josie. I'm going to remember this line. Laurie I once saw a female comedian joke that you never ask a woman if she's pregnant unless she's screaming in pain and you see a head between her legs. Kind of crude, I know (sorry!), but they're words I live by!

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Thank you for your post Tana. I am going to try to be more mindful of what is going on as well and making a note of it; this could prove to be very helpful even later on when I am faced with the desire to eat something that I KNOW will turn into a binge. Thanks! Carolyn > > Hello everyone, > > Just wanted to check in because it has been a while since I've posted. I have however been keeping up with reading the posts and just wanted to let everyone know how grateful I am for everything that you write. More often then not I find a little tidbit to help me through the day. > > I finally had a long needed appointment with my nutritionist the other day and it was very helpful. There were some things that have been bugging me for a long time that I just needed to talk to someone who understood about them. One of these things is that I really struggle with attention from others when it comes to my body. This can come in many forms for me, when I start losing weight people will comment and I often get asked if I am pregnant because I have a bit of a belly. The first one scares me and I end up returning to overeating, and the second one pisses me off. > > She had a lot of recomendations but one that is helping me right now is to just keep a little notebook with me and write down things that bug me throughout the day. These things may be simple little things like how I didn't get any sleep last night because my three yr old kept waking up or more complex things such as stress around finances. I have found it helpful to aknowledge these things because if I don't I think they build up and I end up eating emotionally around them whether I realize it or not. > > The other thing I am trying to do is to just stay mindful and focused on the internal rather than the external. This includes staying off of the scale, not judging my body, paying attention to how what I eat makes me feel, how I exercise makes me feel, and focusing on when I am hungry eating slowly and enjoying my meal and really trying hard to be aware enough to know when I am satisfied. > > Anyway, I could write more but I need to get on with my day. Hope you all have an intuitive day! > > Tana > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
