But that being said, I do have non-hungry days occasionally, where I do not eat much later in the day. I try very hard to eat with an eye on total calories and the right mix of foods. I am all about nutrition and not wasting calories.Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05452333714845476967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334630318757421721.post-36512487037777132452012-07-05T17:06:40.550-07:002012-07-05T17:06:40.550-07:00I know what you mean about all intuitive eating no...I know what you mean about all intuitive eating not being in the cards . . . As I tell my boyfriend, "I have no OFF switch" with many kinds of food. It is just easier to impose some absolute external limit than check in with myself and arbitrarily decide. Emotions can often severely cloud my vision when it comes to eating---and that's bad emotions/anxiety AND good emotions. Plus I have a mean sweet tooth.<br /><br />I'm really enjoying following along with your journey. So glad to have found your blog.Hilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01919608128452838576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334630318757421721.post-32857700853780424202012-07-05T06:13:03.296-07:002012-07-05T06:13:03.296-07:00Thanks Karen!
Hi Hazel, the Priamal Paleo world ...Thanks Karen!<br /><br />Hi Hazel, the Priamal Paleo world uses the words "self regulate" and for me that is similar to intuitive eating, where you stop because you aren't hungry. Sometimes that works for me. Maybe about 20 percent of the time. I may try a whole 30 where I do that for a month, or not. But in the past , ALL intuitive eating just isn't in the cards for me. So yeah, too much gray area for me. I've accepted it, pretty much. I don't blame myself, it's just the way I've always been and I'll need to use the right tools to deal with it.

So it sounds like your primal/paleo food template is done within the structure of a daily calorie maximum. I know it seems like a lot of the paleo and primal people don't count calories at all. Do you think that is too much "gray area" for someone who has been obese (too much room to overeat still)?Hilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01919608128452838576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334630318757421721.post-26421399751738462602012-07-03T04:26:47.432-07:002012-07-03T04:26:47.432-07:00Thanks for leaving a comment on my recent post.

Funny thing is that coming here makes me now think maybe it would be a good thing to start a new, different blog, that did help me with accountability in maintaining. I'm impressed with your success:)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15086719828916510651noreply@blogger.com
