"My workbook arrived today.
I do find that reading has triggered me and I have had some small binges. I binge when I am alone. I sneak eat sweets in the basement. I hide the garbage.
When I try to evaluate my fullness, I find I am snacking on sweets.…"

"Yes, it is very normal. It used to throw me off at first though because it seemed so erratic, but I learned to trust my body. I wrote an article about this if you want to take a look.

IE CertifiedKatcha - IEing since March 2007 replied to Angela Sewell's discussion Hunger
"Yes Angela, our hunger levels do change all the time. There are so many factors in our daily lives - activity, stress, hormone changes, food that is or isn't available etc. The more you simply tune into hunger and honor it as best you can, the…"

"This was me! Start with the book! As soon as I said goodbye to the diet mentality, a weight was lifted and I didn't feel the need to binge anymore. It's not magic but it is so insightful and amazing!"
