Old thread, but I wanted to put in another plug for Intuitive Eating. Sure, it’s a little irritating to me that for about two days now, all I’ve wanted to eat was my approximate body weight in Bing cherries. I’m not sure what nutritional deficiency I’m working on there. But understanding that the craving probably signals something is extremely helpful. It’s also nice to know that eating a big pile of cherries is okay, as long as I balance it out later with other stuff. Everything in moderation. :)

It was also interesting to watch my husband, after a vacation week of eating deep fried meat and potato meals (his choice), practically beg for a spinach dinner salad and then complain that he wanted more spinach and less chicken on said salad. He was perplexed and more than a little weirded out by this craving. I told him “welcome to intuitive eating”.

I am having a wonderful time with Intuitive Eating – for myself and my kiddos – and I have your site to thank. So, thank you.

I am also super-glad not to have gone through TOO much food drama / food “morality”. I had one parent who did this shit, one parent who didn’t, and I take after the latter. Thank goodness.

All trolling and exaggerations aside, I have this very strong sense memory of being about 8 and sitting on the counter at a rental house while everyone else was out skiing and eating a stick of margarine. I was peeling it like a banana and reflecting on the curious fact that I’d been able to eat sticks of butter like this only a couple of years before, but now they revolted me. (I have no independent memory of eating butter like that, just this memory of remembering at the time that I had.) I guess the margarine had more flavor. These days, I can still eat a block of cream cheese like that, but I can’t imagine eating straight butter or margarine. (Eww! I’m grossing myself out just thinking about it.) I’m really glad that no one ever caught me doing that or I’d probably have had to listen to a long lecture about how my natural food preferences were evil and a sign of emotional disturbance. Though, actually, I may have told my parents about it at the time… hmm… I guess they didn’t freak out or I would remember it more clearly.

Personally, I just figure it was freakin’ cold in the rental place and I hadn’t eaten anything all day.

A) I could’ve written this post, and am, in fact, planning one rather similar to it. Seriously, I do the same thing with menus. Focus on what I really, really want and then have guilt, either over the price or fat content or often both and many times I submit to that guilt and regret the decision for the rest of the meal. I’m getting better, though.

B) I only hope that someday I can get 188 comments on a post that’s a month old. Geesh. You’re awesome.

JoGeek: When Women Stop Hating Their Bodies is good as far as not pushing weight loss goes. So is Overcoming Overeating, though it does mention that weight loss may potentially happen using IE if it’s on the genetic cards for you and your metabolic rate isn’t too diet-damaged.
