Guest guest Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Is there anyone who could possibly offer some advice???? I have been put in touch with a mom who has a six month old baby. Fine until it received four month shots. Been diagnosed with sensory dysfunction, sleeps been disrupted, hard to comfort, screams a lot, etc. Mom breastfeeds, but if she eats too much dairy, baby develops eczema patches on her face. Would you suggest trying the SCD with a six month old? Does the info. I've shared warrant putting an infant on SCD? Baby's weight is fine, but because baby never seems happy, mom is thinking baby is hungry, so started cereal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 I am going to try-out the "put down the fork after each bite" method (LOL). It sounds like a good way to re-train my eating habits...Thanks for the tip!Max. Rosemaxynerose@...Subject: re: no subjectTo: IntuitiveEating_Support Date: Friday, December 30, 2011, 8:14 PM Hey Lulu, That is something i am working out too. I am a really fast eater- and although I have lots of foods I like, when I eat them, I will eat really fast so I can get mooorrree. Then I am stuffed and miserable. I really think this came from denying myself foods while dieting. What I have been doing that seems to be working for me is Thinking about what I am REALLY hungry for when I am planning a meal, taking a portion (sometimes I will put the rest away in the fridge before I eat)and eating very slowly. (putting my fork down every few bites, chewing longer and really tasting the food.) When I finish the portion I sit for awhile and "feel" my stomach. What I want when I'm done eating is to feel nothing. Not hungry, not full. (Plus, knowing I have leftovers for the next day makes me excited to eat the next day.) Tonight I made homemade potato soup...soooo good! Normally I would have slurped down my first portion to hurry and get more because I liked it so much. But I ate slowly and realized I was fine with 1 serving. (Lots left for lunch tomorrow!) I have also started to not finish food I do not like or am not really hungry for at that time. This is a tough one for me, because a lot of times I would just grab whatever and eat it mindlessly. So right now I am practicing more mindful and more satisfied eating. I am pretty new to this too and have a long way to go, but I really like running thought by this group because I get good and honest feedback. :)Val > > Val, & everyone, > Thanks for the posts. I am a newbie here and I dont want to "struggle" with wanting to be thin. I have soent my whole life being on hold, until I was thin. And when I was thin, I was still not happy, because of being in the restricting food police head; I was afraid of getting fat and losing my thin body that I restricted even more, then swung to binge eating. When I look at this, I do believe those thoughts created my reality now. This time I have tge power of choice to not be in that head anymore. it is work, but I know it,gets easier and better everyday. > > I have been on a sugar binge since the holidays. Overeating and then restricting . I dont get hunger or fullness cues. I could eat an apple and feel stuffed. I dont even know what foods I enjoy anymore. I was with my sister shopping today and she happened to talk about a food she loves. You could hear her appreciation and enjoyment. I thought: I dont feel that way about any food. I just get into binge mode and it doesnt matter. I realised I am grieving over my loss of taste appreciation and enjoyment in eating. > I am just tired of the way I feel, the way I look, and the way I eat. Maybe this is all part of starting this ie journey? Is this common in the beginning. > I feel lost and dont know where to start... > > Lulu > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
