In order to make peace and become comfortable with food, Tribole and Resch (Intuitive Eating) suggest the following: Pay attention to foods you find appealing and make a list of them. Make a check by the foods you currently eat and then circle the foods you’ve been restricting (the rest of food on the list). Give…
So the idea is that I need to learn that food is food. It does not have power, it is neither good nor bad, and when I am hungry – I should eat. You will just keep eating and eating and eating! When you ate that before, you ate too many pieces, too much! If…
While I am still working to listen for my hunger cues, eat when I am hungry and stop when I am comfortably full (old habits are proving hard to break), I am also allowing myself to let go of dieting. This is proving to be difficult, mainly because of Chatty Kathy and the unhelpful messages…
Yep, I am still talking about dieting. I realize that vilifying a process that has served many for so long will upset some of you. While I do hope that my thoughts and writing will help some to make good decisions that fit their lives well, I do not expect to sway everyone and probably…
As I march through my eliminating the diet mentality week, I continue to find traps that I need to avoid. In my readings, I am finding that not being on an official diet is not the only way we (I) can fall into a diet trap. Tribole and Resch call this “pseudo-dieting”. This includes: “Counting macros”…
So, I am learning to honor my hunger. I am trying to eat only when I am hungry and trying to eat what my body tells me it wants. Yesterday, I took a small cookie to eat after my lunch (a colleague brought them in), but found that I was no longer hungry after finishing…
I actually skipped a step last week by starting with learning about my hunger. However, I knew it would take some time and I will continue to work on that issue while I examine the issue of diets. Two psychologists: John Foreyt and G. Ken Goodrick first talked about a phenomenon called the “Dieter’s Dilemma”. Essentially, this…
Consequences of Weight Stigma in Employment: Carrie Arnold. Thought provoking article/blog. Worth reading!
Yesterday was a rough day for me. I felt tearful several times as I processed my feelings about what food means to me, what food rules I have lived with for years, and how I got to this point. I was grateful to have two good friends (one at work and one across the country) and my…
154 weeks using the bodybugg (most of the time). That’s about 1080 days! My weight loss journey began on March 8, 2010. That was 1127 days ago (and interestingly, that was also a Monday). I cannot begin to tell you all that I have learned about diet, nutrition, exercise, metabolism, weight lifting/training and so on.…
