New to the group- receiving and sharing wisdom

[Guest guest]

Hello All,

I've enjoyed reading daily posts for the last week or so (since becoming a

member), and it's really helped- to be reminded daily of how to stay on track.

Someone mentioned a while back how important it is for you to keep your kitchen

fully stocked of foods. And, when you have a particular craving for a food, I

remember I'm to stock my kitchen up with it- so as not to run out. I've been

doing that lately. Last night, I got a craving for raspberry/cream cheese

danish bites- and bought 3 containers of them...more than enough, I thought.

When I got home from the drive, the craving had dissipated. I had 5 and left

the 50 or so left in the boxes. This morning I woke and wasn't even craving

them.

I've realized the importance and success of HONORING THOSE CRAVINGS. By going

to the store each time I have one, I am honoring that craving. I am telling

myself- and teaching myself, that I CAN and WILL give myself what I want when I

want it. This is helping to eliminate that world of deprivation and

scarcity...and easing my anxiety and allowing me to relax- and eat intuitively.

I need to remember too, that every time I blow off my hunger- or keep it on

hold, ...until I can finally get some food- I am doing damage (taking steps

back). I will truly learn to stop eating when I'm full only WHEN I honor my

hunger (and eat) to the same degree. So, I have started to shift my focus to

noticing when I'm hungry- and having foods with me, available, to eat when I am.

Thats's all. Will share more as I begin to learn and " get " these concepts.

Cheers!
