Re: Peanut Butter Addict Followup

[Guest guest]

, there is a Book List in the Files section at this group site with lots of

titles/authors and reviews by members here. The group is formed around Intuitive

Eating by Tribole and Elyse Resch, but I got lots from Overcoming

Overeating by Jane R. Hirschmann and Carol H. Munter.

Best to you, Katcha

have resonated with me tremendously. Particularly the thought that peanut butter

reminds one of growing up, childhood, and feeling protected. I think this might

be where it stems from with my situation. When I get home after a long day of

work/school, I just want some solace and comfort--a getaway of sorts from my

emotions and feelings. When I was a kid, I did this as well, comforting myself

with sweets. But with peanut butter, it is like, for a moment, all the worries

just go away and I can be a kid again and just say " scr%w it! " to the world and

to myself. it's almost like i'm trying to tell myself that it is okay to eat

this stuff when i want it, however it is the after-effects, the cognitive

irrational thoughts, the self-criticism and destructive self-bashing that causes

the problems.

I finished " Intuitive Eating " book last night and I started one of book call The

Obsidan Mirror. It has do more with um sexual abused in early child or during

childhood. This is one of many reason why I have had become emotional eater.

Someone else from my other yahoo group had recommend this to me as that did help

her a lot. That make me decide to try it for myself.
