Shit! As all our allies seem to head to the left side of the political spectrum we have gone against the grain and have gone right. It was a very sad moment, especially when our now ex prime minister gave her conciliation speech. She did a good job as our prime minister for 9 years [...]

Before I start with my food issues I wanted to explain the above pictures. I went to the beach the other day and the pictures above are from that beach. It is called Piha, and is about 20mins from the major city centre in New Zealand. Getting back to nature was great and it gave [...]

Bigfatdelicious made an extremely interesting point in the last post and so I need to revise my thinking a bit. Please bare with me Im thinking out loud here. This is what I know.
1. Reducing calories makes me hungry and obessive.
2. Eating whatever I want makes me feel unhealthy and hungry
3. There is nothing wrong with [...]
Cravings or Hunger?

Intuitive eating is such a difficult thing to do. The basic premise of course is eat when you are hungry. But this I find is the most difficult part. I think there is a part of me that is always hungry. I can always feel hungry even if I am physically full. But then is [...]
Pig in a trough

So I thought I would give everyone an update on my eating patterns. I have only been eating when hungry. Truly hungry. At first it was quite scary because every other time I have attempted to do this I get really anxious and want to eat because I feel Im starving myself. A return to [...]
Learning from non-dieters

Despite everything I think that you can learn a lot from watching people who have never dieted eat. My friend is a good example. He is thin and eats whatever he likes and whenever he likes it. I secretly watched what and how he ate at a restaurant we went to the other night. He [...]
Back to basics

I guess talking to Susan reminded me of my previous posts where I had basically come to some conclusions about how to eat for myself.
1. Eat only when hungry
2. Eat only until your full
3. Eat slowly
4. Dont wait until you are over hungry
In these posts I talked about how if you wait untill you are [...]
What is hunger

On my post ‘fear of hunger’ I got a long comment from Susan Samuel on how she defines hunger. Because I found it an interesting perspective I asked her to write about it. This is what she wrote…
When it comes to hunger, no mental consideration is necessary. It is 100% physical, and when it occurs [...]
Food Chains

Lately I have become interested in other things aside from (but including) intuitive eating. I have felt that I have become interested in body acceptance and also I have become interested in making sure I don’t eat processed foods (if I can help it). So I find myself at crossroads. I have felt a little [...]
Fear of hunger

Sometimes in life your behaviours swing like a pendulum. So at one stage in your life you might be at one end such as trying to starve yourself by dieting and obtaining perfection. Then when you cant achieve this you give up and swing to the opposite end and just gorge because your so afraid [...]
