Guest guest Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I wanted to make a note, no admonishment, no sludge-hammer type suggestion, just a hmmm, this occurred to me and wanted to share it . . . As I have been reading the word 'crave' mentioned, I felt myself getting (softly) triggered probably because it hooks into my good-bad thinking left over from diet mentality? Anyway, if I am thinking 'my body is craving XXX' I feel a cross between a little kid sneaking what I secretly want and a self justifying rational for having that too. Either way, something deep down feels 'bad' about having what I 'want' and then my rebellion jumps into the dance with 'you CAN have what you want any time!' etc. etc. What a mess of thinking from one little word! So, for myself, I'm going to see if I can side step this mind mambo and get myself back on track with slipping in 'direct (towards)' in place of 'crave'. After all that is what is really happening - my body is trying to let me know what IT would prefer and I don't need to dress that message up with all sorts of extra hanger-ons and left overs from more negative responses. Plus I realized that when by body gets to the CRAVE level, its probably gone beyond the 'please, may I have this' stage and is into 'I want this NOW!' point. That is more likely to be the first step towards overeating whatever I didn't respond to before and at a subtle level. Grrrr - too much 'will power' and not enough 'yes, will do, thank you dear body for letting me know'. All this over a word!! Thanks for reading my wandering vent :) Katcha IEing since March 2007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
