Peace with food...

on 11-17-2008 at 10:21 AM (3128 Views)

I just wanted to say that I love lce. I had about a week of going on and off plan and was really stuggling with emotional eating. I learned some very important things--I feel like crap when I eat sugary, floury, carby foods, and the lc woe really works. After 2 days of being back on plan consistently, I realized just how good I feel when I eat this way. And I believe I am finally making peace with food. It doesn't have power over me anymore. I needed my off plan week to give me confirmation information that I can make food choices to nurture myself and the consequences of that are so positive that they outway any gratification I may get from downing a half a gallon of ice cream. I don't need to do that anymore, and if I decide I do want to do that again, I don't have to shame myself or think I blew it. I just need to keep getting back into the swing of things. I am so happy I found this website because it keeps me coming back!

Good for you cinnamin. There is an interesting article in the current issue of Natural Health magazine about emotional eating and how to deal with it. I would reccomend you check it out. Maybe your library may have it. It is in the December/January issue. Good read!

Hi cinnamin. I can really relate to the emotional eating. I've been low-carbing for years and I still have my moments. However, I'm more likely now to binge on a can of nuts or a bowl of popcorn. Ten years ago, that would have been a gallon of ice cream with some chips or cookies to go with it. And, as you're learning, the low carb foods don't give you sugar highs and blues. Before I learned I was dairy intolerant, my favorite low carb food when I felt emotional was a large chunk of cheddar cheese. I think it reminded me of having mac and cheese when I was a kid. It sounds as if you're doing great! Every once in a while I'll get a craving for some old favorite high carb food - it NEVER tastes as good as I imagined it would and I usually feel like garbage afterwards. Exercise and drinking lots of water will also help when you're feeling emotional.
