I’m so glad to hear it’s still helpful. I hope you can get yourself back on track! Im’m actually hoping to start posting the rest of this series either next week or the week after. I do intend to finish it!

Luck,

I’m revisiting this post as I’ve noticed a massive disconnect in my eating recently. I’ve become really unhappy in my job, and I (along with my fellow demotivated interns) have really been dragging out our lunches and breaks, snacking pretty much all day long as an excuse not to do work! I’ve also been skipping breakfast, and sometimes dinner, because I’m so stressed, and I feel the need to reconcile my eating habits with actual feelings of hunger. I’ve just ordered the book ‘Mindless Eating’ and I’m hoping that the book, along with your post, will inspire me to get out of this pattern! I’m really glad that BA is still available while you’re on a blogging break, you have no idea how much I rely on it as a resource!

I really enjoyed reading this post. I have had to concentrate on the same issue – being a mindful eater, which really doesn’t come naturally to me. My fiancé (much like Damian) is such a natural, I wish I had even a small portion of his calmness! Thank you for sharing, this was very helpful!

I am very much enjoying these posts. Learning to listen to your body can be so difficult and it is something I am working with now. You are quite an inspiration.

Hi Serenity, that one is tough. If you truly can only eat at certain times, then I’d say it’s better to eat, even if you’re not fully hungry, than to skip (which could really stress your system). Is it possible to keep some small, inconspicuous snacks on you? That way you could adress your hunger as it comes up, at least a little bit. Would something like that work?

Congrats. Do you have any suggestions for figuring out actual hunger when you are relegated to eating at certain times? I often can’t tell when I’m hungry, or if it’s just time for me to be hungry.

No seriously – we are ALL waiting anxiously for each post in this series. So many of us are going through our own food-related journeys or feel the need to do so (feeling like you described before you started this path) and we’re loving hearing what worked/didn’t work for you. Thanks for sharing!

This segment of your trial definitely speaks to me! Years of calorie counting has tuned out my natural sense of hunger/satiety and I’m now working on eating mindfully to combat this problem and become an intuitive eater, something I haven’t experienced in far too long. Thanks for sharing your journey. I love that you recognize that these trials are not only physical, but emotional as well!
