Good afternoon all!!!

Hi, CC. Things are a little slow here. I have been feeling a little better. When I went to the doctor, I weighed about 30lb less then 4 yr. ago. I'd still like it to be lower but I am content with that.

Hello Carol. I'd take 30 less myself! We had to go and get new cell phones today, ours were at least 4+ years old, but never had a problem with them, well hubby went cut tree branches in the back yard and his fell in the water, so we went get new ones along with ones for my managers, now I have to learn how to use the thing, has too many functions for me, but you just about cannot get a simple phone anymore. Have been doing better with my eating. Have a blessed evening!! Tammy

Hello.. I have been eating when am hungry, most of the time, lost touch from my stomach hunger and need to connect it back ,since eating from mouth hunger and since holidays are coming..which I need to refocus my mindset...but do love the feeling on eating healthy when am hungry.That is my main goal from now on, along with fitness.

I also ditching the scale..and focus on looking in the mirror,and how my clothes fit..I was wearing a size 3x pants, and now am a size 1x pants. I have a long way to go..

I hope I can become more active on this thread..Until next time, be well.

Welcome Liliann. Sounds like you have the hang of IE already. I have recently lost a little more weight and some really old clothes that I still like are now fitting. That's a great reward. It's hard, though when few people see it that way, my dh included who just lost 20 lb by a very low cal diet. He's putting some back on, though.

Welcome Liliann! Good for you on the new clothes size. For the holidays I plan on eating on a saucer plate, and my gumbo in a small bowl, that way it still may be a little too much, but not as much as on are regular plate and a regular bowl. I hope you come and visit often. Have a blessed day.

Thanks for the welcome CC and Carol... I had read some self help books and even have IE book that I re-read from time to time. I remember an old dietictian recomend this method.

Carol... 30 Lbs is good loss..Great job!

Here are the IE books I have read: Weigh Down, Intuitive Eating, Eded Diet, I Can Make You Thin and Lightweigh (no books) a Catholic approach to IE. What book are you reading?

I still go back to The Overfed Head when I need a boost.

Cajun... I have IE , Overcome Overeating, Geenen Roth(compulsive overeating),Binge Breaker,and the lastest is Gabriel Method(which his advice goes 100% organic), but like what he says on not using our bodies as a saftey net..His method is more like medition style.

And I forgot, the Overfed Head is another book I read, you would think after reading all this I would have this IE thing down pat, but we are human, weak and frail, so by God's grace, everyday is a new beginning. Have a blessed day.

Hi to all. Just now I am getting hungry but nothing sounds good. I really want what I eat to be satisfying but maybe I'm concentrating on that too much. What do you a think?

That can sometimes be a problem for me too, so I tend to see what's on hand and elimate (sp?) what does NOT sound appealing, then I go from there, hope this helps. God Bless.

Carol.. Eat something..Hoping that your hunger statisfy your appettie and don't lose that feeling.

Hi ladies.. I am constant eating from mouth hunger and from being bored. Yesterday ate 2 whole boxes of little debbies cakes and was stuffed and ever since then..doing my best on not eating when my tummy is full. I hope I get my hunger signal back. Have a nice evening..

Honey, we have all been there. Just take things one step at a time, take baby steps and work on one thing at a time, if bored type on this message board, take a long hot bubble bath, read, go for a walk, read IE books, and have a blessed evening!!!
