Intuitive eating describes food that is not necessarily high in nutrients, but is often just yummy, as ‘play’ food. Many items on my forbidden foods list are play foods. I wrote about my experience with Fritos. Later that day, I experimented with a snack sized Almond Joy. As before, I waited until I was hungry…
So, after I blogged, I added Fritos to my list. I really wanted to try them and was hungry. So I bought a bag. I tasted and smelled them carefully. I took several bites. And this is what I found. I don’t actually like Fritos. Who knew?!
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…
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…

There are times when everything seems so easy. Leaving behind the diet mentality seems the most simple thing. Eating what I want can be done without thought or guilt. Then there are times when something has struck me again and I find myself going back over old ground with…
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…
I found the following on Pinterest and thought that it was a useful diagram. I know nothing about the source and therefore am not offering any endorsement, rather just allowing for credit. As you can see, it is a diagram to help decide when to eat and when you have other needs that should be…
