I'm new to intuitive eating, been working on this for about four weeks. I've read the book, and am slowly working through the workbook. I know this takes time, and I've just started.

I expected to have my appetite fluctulate. Getting used to what hungry feels like, and what full feels like. Before this I was ALWAYS hungry.

But now, sometimes I'm hungry and eat fine. Sometimes I think I'm hungry, have a couple of bites, and can't eat any more. And sometimes I realize that I don't like the food I thought I wanted nearly as much as I thought I did. There's a leftover in the fridge of something I thought I loved, but I can't even consider having any of it. Didn't eat much of it when it was fresh.

It's that last one that has me confused. But I LIKED this thing, why don't I like it now? Is this part of the "bad food" mindset that I'm letting go of? As in, maybe I only liked that food because I wasn't "supposed" to have it?

I feel like I'm completely resetting what I like and don't like.

I have had problems with background noise for a while now. Went to an audiologist a couple of years ago, and was told that my hearing is "fine", but my brain doesn't process what I'm hearing properly. OK. The term Auditory Processing Disorder wasn't used, but I'm sure that's what she was talking about.

I do OK in most environments. I've learned to avoid loud bars. But my daughter and I went to a concert last week. Heard the music fine (how could you not, at those decibels). But I could not make out a thing she said to me. Even watching her talk did not help.

How do you handle really noisy enviroments? I'm considering telling her next time to text me rather than try to talk. If it doesn't "send", she can just show me her phone.
