This is hard to do when you're in the process of losing weight as well. If I eat a cookie.. my next three days my meals will crave that sugar.

[josielenore]

@doubtfuldreamer Oh I'm sorry you are finding it hard to do while losing weight. I'm wondering if you might be restricting the sugar and that could be leading to the craving? Do you feel a little nervous or anxious about having a cookie? I lost all of my weight eating this way...so it is possible I'm wondering if there is something else (possibly one of the other 5 non hunger eating (NHE) going on) because this one is only the solution for the 1st type of NHE...

I think mine is flood gate, expecially the other day i totally blew my diet and ate sooo much windys french fries and frosty like there was no tomorro and i felt horrible but now im trying what you are suggesting and ive realized i never crave anything that much anymore at all and the first 2 days all i had when i was hungry was a little peice of peanut butter cake and ate till i was satisfied for breakfast, lunch and dinner and now i look at cake and do not feel like it at all so:P

[josielenore]

@jokerjelly Ah I love that! Isn't it amazing and sort of really powerful to see the cake taken down from its pedestal and just become a piece of food again? That is such a great example, and if you would have forbidden it I bet it would have been calling to you all day...by the way peanut butter cake sounds amazing!! Ah thanks so much for sharing this...I love hearing these stories!!!

Kryptonite most definitely...usually with sweets. But the other two as well to a lesser degree.

[josielenore]

@nigerianflower I know right?!, I did a nice combo of all three as well!

[MegaSantixs]

I think,I have all three :( !!!!!!!!!!!

Really do like your videos,a bit sceptical but still with hope-might this all will help me :)

Just confused where to start ????

[lovelymakeupnewbie]

I love your examples :) I already made that rule that if i want something then just eat a bit but i still have the awful guilt that I'm doing something wrong. But try my best to know this is to eat in moderation.

I am definitely floodgate I get so nervous around food & then feel like when I have it I have to eat a TON of it because I already screwed up!

Hi Josie i'm most definately a unsatisfied meal kinda girl - but not for long though :P

[silviameo]

definitely floodgate!! i'll restrict restrict, and be like 'well i'm doing just fine! tomorrow i can commit" and then i let myself have that bread and butter, and then i'm like "hey that chocolate is looking good" and then it never ends...even when im so stuffed it hurts.

[josielenore]

@elissams So nice of you to say...thank YOU! Ah I know that place where you just sort of keep trying one thing..then another...and there is a sort of nervousness in your stomach and you feel full and yet totally unsatisfied!!!
