Guest guest Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 I have been doing IE for about 10 months now and I love it when this happens! When I stopped with the have to/shoulds my entire mood turned around! Kimberlie IE since Nov 2008 (I've been quiet due to work overload!) > > I mentioned in a post last week that I had a few bags of snacks left over from our trip and I had looked at them and thought that it would take us quite a while to eat them all. > > The other night I got hungry before bed and usually when that happens, I'll have some cereal. I went to get my cereal in our pantry and there were those snacks. I saw the bag of Cheetos which I had bought on our vacation and never opened. I really wanted some of those Cheetos but told myself that I should have the cereal, it was late at night and I didn't need something so fatty late at night. > > I continued to get my cereal ready but kept really, really wanting those Cheetos. I had once read about Geneen Roth having a similar experience in Breaking Free From Compulsive Eating where she had wanting something and had something else and ended up grazing all night because she wasn't satisfied. Since the Cheetos kept bothering me and I REALLY wanted them, I finally told myself that I'd better just go ahead and have them if I wanted them that badly. > > I sat on the couch, opened the bag, took a Cheeto and closed my eyes while I ate it. It was absolutely divine and I loved it. I continued to slowly eat the Cheetos with my eyes closed and after about 8 or 10 of them I noticed that they didn't taste as divine anymore and I was able to stop eating them and put the bag away. > > I had read of similar experiences but had never thought that it could happen to me. I'm so thrilled that it did. > > Just thought I'd share. > > Sharon > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
