RE: Pouch Rules for Dummies

[Guest guest]

I've read it to , I don't follow it as it is written but I think I do

something similar // same type of idea I guess... in that I use a protein

shake before meals particularly if I am REAL hungry or craving carb foods

that wouldn't be very good choice... I give it 15 - 20 minutes and then eat.

For me, I make better choices when I'm not real hungry.

I do use water in the summer because our bodies will send a " hungry " signal

to our brains when what we really are is " thirsty " -- I live on the Texas

Gulf Coast and summers are long and hot so it is easy to not get enough

water in especially on days I spend a great deal of time outside so I do

give my body plenty of water first -- I think that is a geographical thing

that most of us that live in really hot weather zones have learned to do.

Then, if I'm still real hungry, I do a shake, wait and then eat... it takes

everyone a while to learn to listen to your body and get a good feel for

what it really wants (and I'm not real good at it yet...) so, I get the

water and/or the shake first and then a healthy food choice follows much

easier.

Oh dear , I have been reading about your trials these last few

months and have been totally amazed at how well you are doing. So the

food is a little sloppy? Please don't beat yourself up for it. If we

all did that because of our lousy food choices, we would all be black and

blue. I certainly would. I think that is one of the reasons I kept

failing before. I believed I did not deserve to be healthy, happy,

skinnier, etc. You are definitely a valued member of this group.

If you look in the " Files " section of this eGroup -- at the Yahoo site and not

on the

emails we get -- there is a Microsoft Word document there titled " Pouch Rules

for

Dummies " that you can download.
