Guest guest Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Marilyn have you read any other book on non-dieting (other than WWSHTB)? I tend to think of this book as a 'next step' (sequel?) to Overcoming Overeating which is written by the same authors. In OO they perhaps get a little more into suggested steps to take such as stocking up and legalizing, both of which support demand feeding. Regarding your stocking up question, this serves too purposes - to not feel deprived of anything you really want and also to have what you (really) want on hand which reinforces demand feeding. I know I resisted buying 'everything' not only for cost concerns, but also be if I had to toss something that got old before I ate it, that played havoc with my 'waste not' trigger. One challenge at a time works better for me Keep up the good work and do continue to ask for things like you did, not only do you get answers, it helps others with their issues too Best to you, Katcha IEing since March 2007 > > I've just read 'When Women Stop Hating Their Bodies' twice. I'm a bit confused about the demand eating thing - it says to stock up on all the foods you love in abundance. What if you love lots of different kinds of foods? Are you supposed to buy tons of everything? And if so, how can you afford it? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Yes that is the first book I've read on non-dieting and so I want to try these techniques. I plan on reading more, including overcoming overeating but in the meantime I thought the sooner I stop this cycle the better off I'll be because I'm tired of it being such an issue. I understand why stocking up is important, I'm just not sure if I'm supposed to buy all foods I like or just stock up on ones that I really love or what.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Perhaps if you only buy those that will provide you a sense of comfort and well being, that may start this process for you nicely? Remember, there are no 'rules', only suggestions which you implement in ways that suit and support YOU. How about a list of 1) what you really really really want to buy first and 2) those things that you haven't bought for yourself for some time and 3) those things you don't 'dare' buy (ha ha!!) Pick one from each and make the shopping trip an fun experience. IE isn't meant to be druge work ;-) Best to you, Katcha IEing since March 2007 > > > > > > I've just read 'When Women Stop Hating Their Bodies' twice.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 There are no rules, so in the end you'll need to do what feels right to you. That being said, what was helpful for me was to 1) Firstly I bought my top favorite food (or two) in each arbitrary category of foods I wanted to legalize (i.e. candy- candy corn, frozen- ice cream sandwiches, salty- popcorn, entrees- boxed macaroni and cheese...) 2) Then I gave myself extra permission buy things that were either hard to get (spicy cheese bread from the farmers market) or kept really well (like nuts because they can be frozen). 3) I tried not to buy foods that I didn't want at the instant I was shopping and which I could get really easily (i.e. anything I could get by walking two blocks to the 24 hr convenience store). My thought was that if the goal was to have instant access to foods you love, foods that I could buy 10 minutes after I decided I wanted them were essentially freely accessible.
