Still doing great on the intuitive eating. I love it. Even amid times of stress and being busy, I can stick with this! I have been super busy all week with vacation bible school, and I am SO NERVOUS teaching a class, but I haven't binged once since starting this, or eaten standing in front of the refrigerator. I still ocassionally find myself giving into eating for other reasons than true hunger, in fact I did today, I had a fudgsicle and a graham cracker with icing when I just wanted something sweet, no hunger involved. But when I do it, I do so with the awareness of why I am doing it and give myself full permission to have it, no guilt. I also keep in mind that when I eat for reasons other than hunger, I will probably not have as clear for satisfaction signals, so portion control is key! I also wait until the next time I am TRULY hungry for the next time i eat anything after I eat emotionally. I haven't been doing so as much as I used to so that's something. Small steps! My weight hasn't gone down any more but I'm happy with where I am! My schedule hasn't given me much time to exercise this week, but I have been squeezing some in here and there. I hope to increase the frequency and intensity of my workouts soon.
