Guest guest Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 I am going to continue working on eating just until the hunger passes. It's been very helpful to me so far! It really only took me about 3 days to really start to dislike the feeling of a full stretched tummy, and realize that even when I stop MUCH before I would usually (with full permission to eat again as soon as I'm hungry), I'm frequently NOT hungry as soon as I expect to be, or I get caught up in other stuff and just don't think about it for a while. However, I've been able to do this without a 'diet' or 'willpower' mentality finally!! - we made a black forest cake yesterday and usually I would eat a big piece just because it's good and it's a lot of work to make it ... but I had half a piece and enjoyed it but really didn't want any more, so that's all I had. yay me LOL I'm also more aware of when I am thirsty as opposed to hungry, and starting to dislike foods that make me feel bloated. Last night I took the kids to a Burger King that has a big play area so they could burn off some energy (it rained most of the weekend), and the fish sandwich and fries I had actually tasted pretty horrible. I didn't finish them, but I still felt like I'd been dumped in a vat of salty fat for hours afterwords .... yuck!! So I really feel like I'm on the right track, and am going to keep my awareness 'up' this week too Mikki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
