Aoother way to loose weight TTapp

I slacked off TTapp for about 4 days because my knees started to hurt. After a few days the pain in my knees stopped  and  I went right back to using TTapp, only this time I do it every other day.  TTapp makes my body feel good. I move better and I can get up and down the stairs a whole lot easier. I have not taken my measurements yet but I am wearing a pair of pants that felt to uncomfortable to wear a few months ago. The work out actually makes me want to  move around a little more. TTapp encourages people to eat God Made food for two days and Man Made foods for one day.  I have incorporated this into my daily routine and it is making me more aware of what I eating and  how my body feels after a particular meal. I hope with eating when hungry and stopping when I am no longer hungry  any more helps with my weight loss because this would be a fantastic way to lose all the unwanted  pounds. TTapp

How to eat when hungry

This may be a simple thing for some people but when all you've known is how to diet you lose the natural instinct to eat when hungry.  When you diet all the time you need to eat certain foods at certain times.  Some say eat 3 times a day and 2 small snacks.  Some say eat 5 or 6 mini meals and you will loose weight. Diets never worked for me even though I gave it my all, by a certain amount of days I loose the diet battle and fall of the wagon.  I would eat some forbidden food not listed on the diet and that would send me into a downward spiral of emotions of how I can't do anything.  It would follow with a feeling of failure longing for the day I would be slim.  But that day never came, it was only a dream.  When I started eating when hungry only all the emotions that I had tucked away surfaced and for the first time I really had to feel my emotions.  I was not thinking about dieting so my feelings all surfaced around me.  Why am I feeling this way?  Dieting had given me something to think about all day and I was not living a full life.  All my attention was on counting calories and feeling heavy.  I used food to cover all my problems because when I would eat, I would sedate myself and fall into a lazy feeling and just sit and watch TV. Numb to the world and each day passing by waiting for the day to live, the day I will be slim.  One day I thought, what if I will be this size forever?  The thought of being fat for the rest of my life frightened me by I decided to except me as I am but i would try to use my natural instincts, "eating when hungry ".  That meant being patient to wait for hunger but when it was all said and done, the scale moved.  I noticed when I eat when I was not hungry I would gain a few pounds so I vowed to wait for the hungry feeling then eat what ever I wanted.  I wanted Nutty Coconut Ice cream from Baskin Robbins  and got two scoops on a cone.  Can you image getting full off ice cream and not snacking for the rest of the night like I usually do.  No thought of more food.  I decided to give this way of eating a try no longer how long it takes. 

Diets bite

It has taken me years to realize diets don't work. I have been obsessed with my body image for so long that when this sensible way of eating came to me it sounded to simple. I shared the idea with some co workers and they thought it sounded so absurd. I know everything about diets, how to count calories, fat grams, fiber grams, protein, carbs, and so on and so on and so on. All that dieting has made me fat and it hurts every time I find a new diet that I do to a "T" and I still make food the enemy, I can't have this or I can't have that. Its all madness. My life span with dieting gets shorter and shorter with each diet. Now I eat what I want when I'm hungry and I am starting to lose weight naturally. I wait for hunger, and when it comes I welcome it. I set my plate and savor each bite and stop when I am not hunger any more. I don't eat until I feel that full feeling. If I get to full I usually get sleepy. If I stop right before felling full, I tend to have more energy. I had gotten to the point where cleaning up was a big chore. Now I have enough energy to exercise somewhat. What do you think about this? Any comments
