I read in one of the IE books an approach that I really agree with, and it is

NOT to resist the feeling of munchies, but rather give yourself full, legitimate

permission to eat what you want even if you are NOT hungry.

I think I've mentioned in the past my " problem " with cookie dough. incredibly

forbidden, incredibly alluring to me, the most delicious substance on earth. In

the spirit of IE, I've been making it and putting it in the freezer, and I ate

maybe 3 batches, and I was annoyed because I kept wanting it. One day last

week, I said to myself, to hell with it, all I want to eat today is cookie dough

and that's all I'm going to eat, and whoever doesn't like it can go talk a walk.

I ate about a dozen cookie equivalents that day, maybe more, not to the point of

nausea but at some point I was just done. I've barely touched it since. I ate

one today and thought, what is all the fuss about?

I think I ate so much before because I really hadn't given myself permission. I

was still eating only a couple at a time and feeling bad about it. This was a

very important realization for me.

That is excellent Thea And a very good reminder that eating for life is not a

single time 'cure', its more an adjustment back to what our bodies always wanted

(and we denied).
