I do think you're right that in some way or another all of us have some disordered thinking when it comes to food. I am so glad that this method is working for you. Years ago my mom talked to me about the concept of adding to your diet instead of taking away. Like making sure you have those healthy nuts around when you want them and eventually most of the junk gets crowded out. I, too, binge a lot on sweets. I feel like gestational diabetes was such a blessing to me in that it taught me to think about what I was eating and I realized that on the diet outlined, I was usually very satisfied. Also, it had a plan for me to eat every 2-3 hours. So, if I felt a little munchy I could just remind myself that, yes, I would eat again and it was usually all I needed to wait. I agree that I also feel so much better when I eating filling and satisfying foods. Last weekend we had a party for my daughter and I made cupcakes. And you know, I don't miss them! I felt pretty bogged down as a result, with heartburn and just general feelings of yuck! The hard thing for me is doing all the veggie prep so that its there when I want it. I have always preferred fruit to any other dessert, but that means I have to buy it and eat it before it goes bad. I'm not always good at that. Anyway, sorry this is so long, but I appreciate you sharing. Its really interesting to hear how other people think and feel about food.Michaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18423601757994642637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5940834897502947091.post-43915077716478431492013-08-28T19:02:12.396-07:002013-08-28T19:02:12.396-07:00I've been reading some of these posts you'...I've been reading some of these posts you've shared and they've really struck a cord with me too...glad to see that its working for you!SanDeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01387139297579679767noreply@blogger.com
