Each of us has to realize how our body feels during different parts of the day. Being overwhelmed, I stop and think about the principle of "H.A.L.T.": "Am I... Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired?"
--------------------- [Thanks to the FLYLady for this!]
I like what you posted about recognizing a feeling without trying to change it... riding the wave. And the principle of HALT. It's getting easier to recognize the feelings but I still get the knee-jerk reaction to use food. It's just so much easier than trying to give myself what I need emotionally. Suppose I'm lonely... it's easier to eat to escape from the discomfort than it is to do something to make myself feel less lonely. This is what I am working on... what to do instead of eating.
I am so happy to have found your blog. I have not read IE yet, but have heard a lot about it and plan to read it soon. I am trying to love myself just as I am and intuitive eating (and not dieting) is a huge part of that. I plan to throughly go through your blog and the other blog links as soon as I have some free time!
This blog is a place where you can learn all about Intuitive Eating -- the "hunger-fullness" method for weight loss. More information can be found on the Official IE Website (click HERE).
