It's funny that we don't question when we are tired. We just go to sleep. It should be that easy to listen to our bodies when they are full. Keep at it my friend!<br /><br />I gave you a blog award - just go to my blog and check it out.http://transparentjoy.blogspot.com/<br /><br />Hugs!!!!Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03722527731126817253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576318789655982930.post-29879425232064667012010-08-29T08:16:13.528-06:002010-08-29T08:16:13.528-06:00When you said that it feels so good to honor your ...When you said that it feels so good to honor your hunger and fullness signals it made me think of something I read in one of my Geneen Roth books. It said something along the lines of every time you do that, you are choosing to take care of yourself. I think of think of this every time I throw away or package up food I would have normally eaten just because it's there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576318789655982930.post-16896219371954178362010-08-28T19:04:40.962-06:002010-08-28T19:04:40.962-06:00I was just reading some of your posts and saw that...I was just reading some of your posts and saw that you have already read Women Food & God. It is a great book!<br /><br />You are going to rock this journey, it sounds if you are already moving in a good direction. Unless your motivations are coming from a place of love and acceptance - it is tough to do them forever. The hardest lesson for me to learn was that I needed to start on the inside FIRST, then on the outside if I still felt the need.<br /><br />Again, I am excited to follow along!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13220492042004645180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576318789655982930.post-28445394732070871862010-08-28T18:51:19.515-06:002010-08-28T18:51:19.515-06:00Sam you know I love you and wish you only the best...Sam you know I love you and wish you only the best in whatever you do in your life. I am not totally understanding this whole intuitive eating thing but if you do that's all that matters. I know what works for me and that is all I need to know. Good luck again and know I will be following you always. smile.Lesiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06924745400448235251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576318789655982930.post-49090617135797424672010-08-28T18:31:27.576-06:002010-08-28T18:31:27.576-06:00Hi Sam! Thank you for visiting my blog - it sound...Hi Sam! Thank you for visiting my blog - it sounds we are at similar places with ourselves. I look forward to following along and hopefully we can both learn from eachother!<br /><br />From my heaviest weight I have lost 50 lbs through restrictive dieting & tons of exercise, which was actually probably too much. That is why it is so difficult and stressfull for me to stay at the weight that I am. It is a constant battle and I find that I had been living in absolute fear of weight gain. <br /><br />The only answer at this point is for me to treat my body with love and respect and my weight will level off. I have been working on this for a bit and have gained back a few pounds and you know what? It is totally okay, it is healthy. I am healthy. I am loving my body and it is loving me back. Of course I still have struggles ~ that may always happen. But overall, just like you referenced when you were sitting with the sun on your back, things become peaceful.<br /><br />If you have not read it, I am reading Women Food & God for the second time now. Holy Amazing and life changing. It will be a book that I contine to re-read throughout my life. I would suggest reading it. I have read, and loved, Intuitive Eating and this book (WF&G) is the perfect thing to follow that up!<br /><br />Sorry for the super long comment, so excited to follow your journey.<br /><br />You are beautiful by the way : )Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13220492042004645180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576318789655982930.post-25844338465355064422010-08-28T12:29:31.518-06:002010-08-28T12:29:31.518-06:00I love what you wrote and what that quote says abo...I love what you wrote and what that quote says about refusing to apologize for ourselves or for accepting ourselves. The truth is that our society/culture doesn't necessarily WANT us to accept ourselves - then we don't need to buy the beauty products, or read the advice-filled magazines, etc. Not accepting ourselves fuels consumerism because we try to find a product or something tangible to "fix us." So accepting ourselves as not perfect but still completely acceptable - as children of God - is pretty darn radical! :)Katie @ Health for the Whole Selfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10592470255014071421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576318789655982930.post-17583475456238406372010-08-28T11:44:33.413-06:002010-08-28T11:44:33.413-06:00Beautiful message!Beautiful message!:Deliciously Healthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13472803678229207414noreply@blogger.com
