Long weekend

Its been a few days into my Intuitive Eating journey. I have been eating 1/2 of a quarter plate portion (1/4 of a regular plate) of food of whatever I desire when I am hungry. I have been trusting my hunger and even though some days I am eating more frequently than usual...my overall food intake has decreased. I guess my stomach is shrinking.

Yesterday we went on a family trip to Niagara falls, I relaxed and just ate whatever everyone else was eating. I had a whole large hamburger, and some pizza and pop. Well today my stomach is upset and bloated, I have no desire to eat (this is very odd).

Now this discomfort, even though it is not pleasant does seem like a good thing....my stomach must be shrinking and what was normal huge portions for me are now too much and not enjoyable.

I'm going to keep trusting my bodys signals and press on.
