Re: My first frosting-free day!

[Guest guest]

That's great! Way to go with your progress! Now your body knows that it can have frosting whenever it wants and it will always be there. If you would like to have some today or tomorrow, next week, or next month...you can always feel free to have it.I too am finding the counter in my head to turn off. Today we went to fast food drive thru for lunch and I found myself trying to calculate the the calories. I was successful in that I didn't look up the exact numbers, but I found myself saying...this can't be more than XXX calories. So, I still have a ways to go in that area as well.God Bless,Dayna:)IE since Sept. 2008To: IntuitiveEating_Support From: abouttwodays@...Date: Sun, 19 Apr 2009 17:16:13 +0000Subject: My first frosting-free day!

So I think we all know about my attachment to frosting and how it's been THE hardest thing to legalize so far. Well, yesterday I had my first frosting-free day! (Well, first frosting free day while there has been frosting in the house!) I told myself all day that I could have it, I even told myself I SHOULD have some just to prove to myself that I would allow it. I truly didn't want it! I didn't even taste it. It didn't appeal to me all day yesterday and it has yet to appeal to me today (though the day is hardly over!) It really felt good to have a day with frosting in the house but not in my belly because I really did not want any. If I would think about it, I imagined the taste and texture, neither of which struck a chord with my appetite and I thought that was pretty cool.

Now if only I could have a no-calorie-counting day, my brain would be a lot more at ease.

YEA!! Kudos and bravo for you to achieve this great step along your IE journey.

For sure you will have re-bound moments with your beloved frosting, but now you

know that you are able to 'legalize' it for yourself and any time you feel you

need to 're-prove' that for yourself, I'm sure it will be lots easier and faster

too.

Congratulations on your success and thanks for sharing. It's such a wonderful feeling to realize that we can have something and then to be able to not want it all the time.SharonSubject: My first frosting-free day!To: IntuitiveEating_Support Date: Sunday, April 19, 2009, 1:16 PM
