"I love the idea of throwing food in the garbage...and it getting easier and easier each time you do it. I grew up learning that you should NEVER waste food...but food you eat when you are full also goes to "waste" if you will. "

Paula commented on RollerCoaster's blog post Our best inner voice"I think I've got the "angel" in one ear and the "little devil" in the other. I know what is best for me, but sometimes I give in to temptation."
RollerCoaster posted a blog postOur best inner voice
I was reading a post from Karen's blog about knowing what's best for ourselves and a sentence really stuck out to me:I’m amazed that when I ask clients what the voice that knows best would do in a situation, they almost invariably answer with the response that would be healthiest for them.I wonder, how would I do if I continually asked myself this question when I start to feel…See More

Paula commented on RollerCoaster's blog post Main Goal - Get Hungry, Stop at Satisfaction"I am also trying to eat to satisfaction. Where I feel like I could eat a little more, but I don't. I like some of the ideas you posted here and I think I just might use some for myself."
Erica commented on RollerCoaster's blog post Main Goal - Get Hungry, Stop at Satisfaction"I do better if I don't let myself get too hungry. So I plan 2-3 healthy snacks into my day. I had a plain chobani yogurt topped with sliced strawberries, between breakfast and lunch. Then a light cheese stick and an apple a…"

What I've Learned So Far...
~Eating without distractions allows for feelings to rise. If I listen to those feelings, I will be empowered.
~I know when I am done eating because I all of a sudden I start thinking about whether or not I am full. Sometimes I will continue eating anyway. :)
~Depriving myself of food I want and need only makes me want to rebel by eating as much of it as I can get my hands on.
~All the things I don’t like about myself were born from the need to survive and the need to protect myself. They are not bad.
~Emotions can be strong and make me want to eat, but if I let myself feel them, they will fade with time.
~For me, dieting is not the answer. Deprivation only makes me want to eat.
~I eat when I am procrastinating. Better to do something about it than eat!
~I crave carbs but it’s not always what I need.
~Food tastes better when I am hungry.
~It feels good not to constantly have to write down what I eat.
~I like eating what I want to eat.

EATING TO SATISFACTION - HOW DID I DO?
Yesterday went well with eating to satisfaction, here's a little reacap:
- I did not overeat
- I waited just a little too long to have lunch
- Ate dinner pretty mindlessly and quickly but I was paying attention to my fullness signals and didn't overeat.
- Had some ice cream because I had decided I could so rather than listening to my body I ate it because I had already made the choice, absent the body…
Main Goal - Get Hungry, Stop at Satisfaction
Posted on October 15, 2012 at 1:30pm 4 Comments 0 Likes
Here are four things I know:
- If I am not at least a little bit uncomfortable then I am not making progress
- Only in pushing myself can I get better
- If I only do it some of the time, change will not happen
- It will be hard at first, but it gets easier with practice
SO, this week my main goal is to push myself on the waiting to eat when I am hungry front. This is going to be difficult. I know it. I am going to want to eat what I want when…
Continue Urge to eat - so frustrating!
Posted on October 12, 2012 at 5:12pm 4 Comments 0 Likes
I've been frustrated by my urge to eat. Frustrated I am doing normal eating and not losing, frustrated because I still eat when I'm not hungry, frustrated because I have so much doubt in my ability to make progress. Frustrated because I can't get to the bottom of my emotions and therefore can't reframe them and ease them.
As I was voicing my thoughts someone asked this question:

TRANSITION TIME
In one of my earlier posts I talked about giving myself transition timebetween activities and I've been attempting it for about two weeks and this is what I have to say about it...IT IS WONDERFUL!
I am certainly not perfect with it but when I have a transition to make (end of day, heading home to pick up the bean, that type of thing) I glance at the…
