Enf of Overeating, 2nd thread

Good Morning All,
Overall I've been doing good.

I did get distracted when I was eating dinner on my own (the DH was gone that night). I was reading and noticed I was no longer hungry. I was planning on getting up and putting away the approx. 1/4 cup chili left in my bowl for later. Somewhere along the line I mindlessly ate it. :eek: I went to the kitchen and was rinsing the bowl when I did a mental head smack because I didn't even remember eating it. :confused: BUT.... I realized I did this, so it is a step in the right direction. :) NO EATING and Doing other things at the same time. It DOES promote automatic eating.

Pam, Good job at the funeral. You just helped reinforce a good habit (a very hard one to get into too). :D

CLango, Are you hoping to make the move? Either way, I hope things go your way and good luck. :) Here's the cliff notes version of my decision to switch to Whole Milk. 1) Vitamin D and A are fat soluable, The fat helps you absorb it (and Vitamin D is required to absorb Calcium and I don't get as much sunlight as I should) 2) Skim Milk needs added vitamins and they add other questionable things to it. 3) It was the easiest thing from Real Food for me to change and try and the DH loves Whole Milk. :p The author came off as an "organic extremist" (to me) at first, but she appears to be backing off a bit as I read further. I'm not ready to go "whole hog" on her ideas yet, but I will consider them (and research them further).

Soooo how's everyone else doing?

Hello Non-Overeaters! How ya'll doin'?

This past week was pretty hectic, and I didn't get a chance to come around much, and certainly didn't turn a page in my book. I was extremely active, ate most of my meals on the run, got way less than 8 hours of sleep every night, and neglected to drink much water on Friday. That whole combination resulted in me ordering DH to drive to the store on Friday night, to pick up a couple of friends: Ben & Jerry. I had half of a container of the Half Baked. That was yummy. But it could have been totally prevented if i had only taken better care of myself during the week. So, that's what I need to work on: being more conscious of taking preventative measures.

Dawn - Thanks so much for detailing your experiences for us. I love the way you've embraced Kessler's principles and techniques! Keep writing, pleaes, 'cause I'll keep reading!

Laurel - Thank you to you, too! I love reading about your progress and your suggestions.

Pam - Wow, it sounds like you're on the right track!! Good work!! I look forward to hearing what you think about EOE. Your explanation about drinking whole milk sounds very interesting. Maybe I''l pick up that book soon.

Well, my eyelids are slamming shut. I've GOT to get some sleep tonight!
