I understand that completely. The going well is always in the early a.m before the day demands us to be supermom, or super duper to all. You ate what was reasonable and healthy. The day may become unreasonable. This is where we determine if we are eating IE or are eating what the day presents us. It is so hard to discern and break the habit, but a personal word from me to you is that the victory is there for you to claim it as you see your worth in Christ. I am sad to say, if this is Carol, that this site does not notify me of content. Trust still that I am here and look frequently for those that need His love and support. We serve a risen Savior! God bless and provide your daily bread.

I'll let you know how today went, Candy. I ate toast and soy milk for bk and then kept busy until 2pm so I was probably overly hungry. I ate a cup of homemade veggie beef soup, toast, crackers, and a small portion of cheesecake. At 4 I was hungry again and thought that was strange but took a little nap and it went away. For supper we had chicken creole on toast and apple salad. I was statisfied with a small protion. I thought it was funny that the hunger went away and never seemed to come back. I rarely drink anything but water... maybe a little juice once in awhile and one cup of soy milk a day. My folks weren't soda drinkers but my DH is. I never go into that. Probably a good thing.

Carol, what a TREMENDOUS victory to ignore that hunger, take a rest, and find it gone. That is the IE way. It takes a few weeks indeed to recognize that all hunger is not genuine hunger. We ask ourselves simple questions as how can I eat at 2 and be hungry again at 4? As Judge Judy says, "If it doesn't male sense, it isn't."  You made very good choices and I am glad that soy milk is available for you in this day and age. For anyone reading this, Carol cannot drink regular milk. (Am I right about that?) You might explain your condition to clarify. I also do not turn down a small piece of desert if that is what I really want to top a meal off with, before I am full. IE is a wisdom plan. You chose wisely. Barbara Ann is here and Nancy and Rosie are trying to register. I think we will have a very personal group and will be able to achieve our goals this coming year, don't you?

From Carol today: My DIL has lost 20lb in 6 weeks on WW so I have been asking her about her food plan. Seems she eats quiet a bit of bran cereal so yesterday I had bran buds mixed with regular cereal for breakfast and soup for lunch with a little more cereal I was thinking of eating some after supper but I was quite full and couldn't finish my supper of salad, venison, potato and bread. The fiber seemed to help with the hunger all day long. I think you just posted this on here, right? Carol brought out a very good point on eating foods that are high in fiber that gives the stomach the full feeling longer. There are also other reasons: 100 secrets to a long life tip #8

It's me again. (Carol) I've had a few good days with the increased fiber intake. It seems to help with the hunger. I did drink some soy milk right before bed last night because of extreme hunger and then awoke at 4 am with the same hunger. I had eaten VERY light at supper. I decided to pray and I went back to sleep. I hope tonight goes better. How is everyone else doing?

Hi Carol! I am so taken with you, sincerely. Most have abandoned any sense of dieting or self-control through this season, and you still keep plugging away and experimenting AND experiencing. Yes, we will have hunger signals that are real, and we choose to ignore them or indulge. When we indulge we are doing right when it is done with such sensibleness as you are doing. Remember this is a plan that is meant to accommodate you individually. And it takes your body awhile to discover that you are in charge. I like in 1 Cor. (?) where it says whatsoever we do, eat or drink or all things, we do it to the glory of God. That is the concept of IE. We don't get it all at once because we might have spent our entire life eating in a total opposite direction. A salute from me to you today!  And a halo on your head. I am really glad you dove right into Proverbs already. That tells me I better get going today and upload some more. Have a blessed Christmas Eve. I can almost hear His footsteps approaching if I still myself.

The same thing happened with the hunger last night. I drank the soy milk at midnight and skipped the 4am hunger. Strange. Still trying to stick to the fiber. Sometimes I think I need to eat a little more supper but maybe smaller meals more often will help. I have been doing a little more work on the eliptical. I noticed, Candy, that one of the Proverbs lessons dealt with exercise. Do you exercise yet? I have a hard time sticking to it for any length of time. The Lord is so good in answering our prayers. There is a line from a hymn we sing (the name has left me) that talks of God answering prayer whether "uttered or unexpressed". I guess he can read minds just fine.

Praise God for each lesson learned, Carol. It is an answer to the many times we called out to God over our diet dilemma. Now it is His turn to teach, rather than we ask.  Keep on learning how your body reacts. It takes time. No, I have not added exercise. When I exercised I conquered a Stair master Dick bought for me. I was so proud as I worked myself up to doing an hour a day. From repetitive motion I blew out my knee. It took 8 months to heal. That was the end of my devotion to equipment. I still believe in exercise strongly, but not for me. The damage I did was not worth burning calories. Have a blessed Christmas! How much family will be there?

Hi Candy. Had a good day yesterday. I ate really small portions for dinner wich made the grazing of the rest of day easier. I had some soup at 7:30 and made it through the night without too much hunger. Really tired today so I'm taking it easy. My DH just doesn't understand how tired I get. Stayed up late on the 24th with company and got up early the 25th to make homemade bread because I ran out of the bread in the freezer. Now I need to get back to exercise. When I'm really tired that just goes out the window.

I just posted and it didn't work. Guess I'll copy it before I push reply. It kind of surprised me......now what did I say? ha! I am still impressed with fiber's ability to supress the urge for sweets. I eat all bran each morning. I also learned that a breath mint can help with stomach pains when you can't eat right away. Lots to learn.

My DH has the flu today so no big meals to fix. It's kind of nice but he is really sick with the stomach ache. I had a really bad flu like this in 1975. I had to go to the hospital for 3 days because they thought it might be gall bladder. It wasn't but I had diahrea for 2 weeks. I had a 3 mo. old baby, too. My DH is hardly ever sick so this is strange for him. My DD has done all the chores. Hope he's better tomorrow.

Carol, Hoping this is not a long drawn out bug for him as you had at one time. DH, this past week, came down with it, and passed it on to me. What amazes me is the very same symptoms for the two of us, but he can still eat and I cannot. Yesterday I had one egg and one slice of muenster cheese for the day.

Guess I'll post here now. I've been eating pretty well at least I'm not overeating and the weight recently lost is staying off. Hope it continues when we're gone. Just wondering, Candy, do you eat quite a small amount each day? I'm wondering if cutting way back on amounts helps or do you finally even out and not lose? Quite a learning process. Sometimes I'm surprised at the things I don't want. Last night we went out to eat with our son and DIL and my DH whose really been doing good lately ordred the 4 piece broasted chicken and an appetizer of onion rings. They were so big I could only eat one and my DH and son had to finish them. My son and DIL have been going to WW and my DIL has lost 32 lb.....son has lost 15. They are normally big eaters as they are both 6 ft tall. Then a loaf of bread came but it was dry an unappealing so I didn't eat that. I had a half a cup of soup and small salad, 3 shrimp and baked potato. It was very good. Guess I'm getting picky. I hope so!!!

Carol, I have to commend you for wise and healthy choices at that meal, and also for what you are now discerning in your eating habits. I too have become very picky and that is so much better than a sloghful habits that were out of control. My number one (s) priority is to eat healthy and to eat only what I really enjoy. That way I am satisfied that my choice was godly and that I am content which will prevent bingeing later because I was not.
Your family is doing great with the weight loss and the motivation must really stir you to new heighths.
I eat very small now. Let me give you an example. Each Tuesday DH goes out with a friend and they stop at a favorite restaurant that he and I always went to dating back over 15 years now. There is only one meal that we order, the baked scrod dinner. He brings a carry-out home for me. I always ate the full dinner there because it is so good. Since I have shrunk my appetite and tummy, this meal is now divided up into either 2 or 3 meals for me. I can't believe that I used to eat the whole dinner at one serving. So it is my firm opinion if you will keep practicing IE you will look back in amazement 6 months or so from now, and consider yourself a large eater back in those days. Really! I never knew I was a large eater and because I wasraised to eat what was placed before us, I find that I actually overate the majority of my life and never knew it because I could get away with it. Now I can't. Make sense?

Yes, I think that is somewhat of a problem.......always being told not to waste food. To this day it really bothers me to throw food away. Sometimes when I am eating a leftover I wonder if it is going to make me ill! It doesn't taste bad but maybe I kept it too long. Fish and shrimp are real culprits. I've been sick on them several times, especially shrimp. Usually at restaurants, though. Years ago when we first moved to WI, DH and I went on a date to a nice restaurant and I ordered the trout which I loved (of course I was thin then). I don't know if it was the flu or food but the next day I was so sick I was hospitalized and I was nursing a 3 mo. old boy. I was in for 3 days since they were worried it might be gallbladder....it wasn't. I had diahrrea for 2 solid weeks. I've never had trout since.

I do not blame you for never eating it again. About 5-6 years ago I ate a yogurt in the fridge which I lated found out was past the expiration date. I was sick! I knew what it was. I know yogurt is a good food, but to this day, DH stocks it weekly, I cannot bear the thought of eating this food. On the not wanting to waste, I can so relate, but you even more with raising 10 children. I sincerely say, that now it is a trapping you must overcome. It does you no good to be a vacuum cleaner with food. You are not a household maid, and God will never forsake you in providing daily provision of food. I am here for you, Carol to see you get the same victory it took a lifetime for me to achieve. I do have a devotion on this topic, but it would take me forever to figure out where and which one it would be, so maybe I'll not be able to find it and will just have to write a new one for the "Clean Your Plate Clubbers. God bless your eating habits today!
