( 1 -empty =ready to kill someone and 10=so full you must lay down and unbutton your pants) I never let myself get too hungry(under a 3 or a 4) as that is likely to end up in me overeating at my next meal. I am learning daily that I can trust myself around food and that I deserve more for myself. I am worth it!

Fuck Diets! Now What?
After spending most of my life dieting and restricting in some form or another, I finally get it. Dieting has made me the size that I am today. I have been on one long restrict/binge cycle. I have gained and lost hundreds and I mean hundreds of pounds. I'm done... so now what ?I have spent the last two years in and out of eating disorder counseling and have slowly moved myself from denial to acceptance to now... ACTION. I am currently practicing the intuitive eating method. For those who are not familiar, get the book it is fantastic. The premise of the book is basically (and I am very simply summarizing) eat when you are hungry and stop when you are pleasantly full. Sounds easy but it is not. I am working daily on rating my hunger/fullness on a scale of 1-10
