Guest guest Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 I actually LIKE my cereal soggy! I don't eat cereal often but whenever I do I put the milk on and let it sit for 5 minutes or more so it can soften up and the milk gets all flavoured by the cereal. I actually bought some All Bran the other night...I was craving it which is really weird! But it's blueberry season and I had this craving for All Bran and blueberries. YUM!

I put my regular amount of milk in the bowl and just pour a tiny bit of cereal in the bowl at a time so it doesn't get soggy and I don't have to rush.KT> >> > I have the same thing about some cereals, including Honey Bunches of Oats (better yet Banana Nut Crunch) - I can eat several large bowls - and then my tummy sloshes for several hours afterward! NOT a good feeling! > > > > This morning I experimented pouring only a little bit at a time but not limiting what i wanted - but I just kept waiting a few minutes before pouring more and noticing now Tummy feels. Since I waited a few minutes and really noticed when the full feelings began to hit my Tummy, I felt GREAT after only two very small servings with milk. And no sloshing. However, I am prepared to keep up the small servings every 10 minutes or so if Tummy is not yet full. > > > > Once I am satiated, I am fine - my struggle is to make myself wait every few minutes for a few minutes to see what Tummy has to say about what I gave it. > > > > Does that make any sense? The worst thing to do is to talk mean to myself and be judgmental, rather than looking at myself with real curiosity and kindness. Also, I keep slipping back in to thinking of certain foods as "good" foods and "bad" foods. There aren't any good or bad foods. There are just foods. It takes awhile for our tummies to reconnect with our brains, but if I restrict and deprive, I will never get reconnected. The signals should become more and more internal, rather than external, of what and when to eat.> > > > Hope that helps - from one cereal lover to another! > > > > Judi> Make your browsing faster, safer, and easier with the new Internet Explorer® 8.
