\"Guest<\/a><\/p>\n

I will never forget when I was 13, I was astonished how my uncle stayed so thin and he never finished what was on his plate. I remember saying to him, \u201cHow do you know when you are full?\u201d He replied, \u201cI eat until I am satisfied and then stop.\u201d I remember thinking, \u201cWhat are you talking about?\u201d I have never understood that concept and I still don\u2019t. I am a member of the \u201cClean Plate Club<\/a>.\u201d I feel like I have been out of touch with my body for a very long time, about 30 years since I was 13 when my mother passed away.<\/p>\n

By overeating enough at the right times I could go to sleep or just \u201cveg\u201d out in front of the TV with food. As I got into my mid-20s I noticed that I had a lot of gas and was going to the bathroom a lot. Years went by and I was never able to correlate what was going on with my body in relation to what I was eating. At some point I just surrendered and said to myself, \u201cThis is just the way my body is.\u201d Meanwhile I was struggling with food and always feeling hungry.<\/p>\n

In 1999, after I found a 12-step group for compulsive eaters<\/a>, I learned a new way of eating and started eating\u00a0three meals a day. That is where my work began in relation to my eating issues. I stopped eating white sugar<\/a> and white flour. That is also when I learned about eating different vegetables.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned as Rob\u00a0will continue discussing his weight loss journey in Part 2 of his Listening to My Body series.<\/em><\/p>\n
