I made the experience that " everything was fine and seemed to work " as long as I only ate when hungry, stopped when full and craved mostly healthy foods. Then I realised I turned IE into the " eat only when hungry and stop when full " -diet and that I had the irrational belief that I " should only crave healthy foods " . Can you relate to that? s.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 For me, sometimes speaking to my inner " child " as my inner " adult " is helpful. Like, in this case, your inner child wanted to go play with some ice cream for a day. ;-) So how about your inner adult let your child play once in a while? Like, sometimes my kids just want to have a fun day and not be so responsible. Maybe we spontaneously stop by the park that has water spraying toys and they get in the car wet and go home exhilirated. Does this make any sense? lol Warrior > > Hi Everyone ~ > > Yesterday I put out a couple of posts regarding not being hungry much and having a small breakfast and a small lunch.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 That's interesting about gradual hunger and emotional hunger coming on quick. (filing away in brain.) ;-) I need to read that book next. I really do.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 my problem is no longer waiting for hunger in the morning. I wake up and I wait for a while until I really begin to feel hunger. I got that part straight. After 9 hours in bed, it doesn't take that long to feel hunger, maybe 1/2 hour. My big problem now is at my next meals ... not the feeling hunger part, but stopping when I feel fullness. and eating late at night, even though I am pretty sure I don't have body hunger, just mental or thought hunger.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 My body tells me that eating a lot before I go to bed makes me very uncomfortable. I can't sleep well. When I don't eat much before I go to bed I get a better night's sleep, I don't have acid reflux. I still don't understand about legalizing foods, though, in terms of taking questionable substances into the house. I'm thinking that if I get rid of everything that tempts me beyond endurance I might be better off. What do you think? CindiSubject: Re: Eating....Not EatingTo: IntuitiveEating_Support Date: Thursday, June 25, 2009, 11:58 AM , what I read in another book suggested that at times like these you say to yourself - WHO SAYS?!? Eating 'late' is bad. WHO SAYS? 9 out of 10 times this is a food police, diet mentality attack and that is what is making you feel guilty. I don't think you have any reason for feeling guilty for feeding your body when (any time day or night!) it is hungry! YOU are satisfying your body needs and no one else can tell you when, where or how much near as well as YOU can. Good job for eating and I hope you can feel satisfied with doing just that.
