Lotus's Journal, 06 July 2008

Day three of intuitive eating, and I feel awesome. No out of control cravings, and I ate what I wanted when I was hungry. I felt truly satisfied with less than one slice of pizza, and left several bites of my burger on my plate at dinner, though I finished off my chips and bread. I feel like I did well today, I don't feel overstuffed nor am I hungry. It is hard to break away from the worry of eating calorie-packed foods, but I was away form home all day and I really think I did well. The scale was down this morning so that made me feel more confident. I am not ready to cut down on weighing often yet. I feel like I need to keep weighing daily at least until I have learned to trust my ability to acknowledge satisfaction, which is different than feeling full. Chewing well and focusing on the food really is working to help me be satisfied with less without feeling deprived OR stuffed. For one thing, I'm eating real foods which in itself is satisfying. I ate about 3/4 of a real hamburger instead of 2 or more soy burgers. I am working on not stressing it if I don't get 100% of every macronutrient each day. I was higher on fat today, and it was the first red meat I've had in a good while. I feel I have made progress today. It's the first time in FOREVER I had a hamburger without guilt(and eating two burgers plus french fries to numb the guilt!!) It was a good day! Hope everyone is doing well! Don't forget about me ya'll! I'm on a different plan now but I still support all of yours!
We're all in it together! HUGS!! :D

It's probably good that you are still in the habit of weighing often, it gives you an idea of whether this is working or not for you in plenty of time to head off trouble. Some people can eat great all the time, and sometimes you have a couple of higher days and then just need to make an effort for a day or two to really cut back again to kick your metabolism. Sounds like you are doing well.
