Hi Jeanne,

I think knowing what feels good for your body comes with time and good

eating habits, so don't try to force it too much. After a year of

(mostly) eating very, very well, I know my body feels much better when

I eat good, fresh food with lots of veggies and fruits, and I'm finding

that helps me cut off binges sooner because they feel so lousy--but it

doesn't mean the binges don't still happen. We need to try to forgive

ourselves for making mistakes. A dietician can help you understand

what foods are healthy and what aren't, but they can't make you want to

eat healthier foods. That's something that just takes time. There's

no point in eating healthy foods that you don't want.

Sue, thanks! You assume correctly about my question!

I mentioned in another post about my difficulty in determining just

what comfortable fullness feels like for me. And have also

mentioned that I was thinking of seeing a dietician, which makes me

question if I really trust this body of mine to tell me what it

needs to best nourish it and what doesn't make it feel good.

So sorry to hear about your bacterial infection.

Thanks,

Jeanne
