In other words, it can be enjoyed but not repeated. <br /><br />At least that's how I want to see it. I don't even have to have the sound or the sight or the smell--I can do it to myself all in my head. <br /><br />Still I don't believe in the concepts of triggers, the part that says then acting them out is compulsory. <br /><br />I wish I had control over my own food addiction. But I'm working on it!<br /><br />What this brought up for me is about sounds. When I was a child, I was beaten daily. So then as an adult when I'd hear someone yell my name, I would startle and remember the beatings. Usually only when my name was called out, like say if a person was trying to get someone else's attention. Still it was a common name and it bothered me. So when I was in my 30's (over 20 years ago) I changed my name. Now I never seem to hear that very common name called. I'm very happy I changed my name to Olivia!<br /><br />Love to you, Cinner, xoOOliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06058356843151306428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344506787084347259.post-76427215380057976522011-08-11T08:00:21.720-07:002011-08-11T08:00:21.720-07:00this is a fun post Cinner, you wrote it in such a ...this is a fun post Cinner, you wrote it in such a fun way even though I know you are serious. when I hear good music, I want to dance! When there are very few sounds, almost quiet, I feel peaceful. I will have to notice if there are sounds that make me think of food. Smells for sure do it.Tammie Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11279605745446513635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344506787084347259.post-37673246909356377792011-08-10T14:00:41.978-07:002011-08-10T14:00:41.978-07:00Please don't break all your triggers for when ...Please don't break all your triggers for when one of us is down, you are are the one who wants to encourage. You are the person here who most sees the beauty in the world around them. You understand the simple things that lead to the real happineses in life, You see that gentleness is encouraging and inspiring.<br />I suppose it is a matter of changing the BAD triggers and keeping all the good ones, maybe even learning new ones from people like you.<br />There are not many people in this world who feel truly good. You are one of them, don't you go changing too many triggers xxxxxx<br />DawnDawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16149197584864926085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344506787084347259.post-77285099273537830712011-08-10T10:30:08.544-07:002011-08-10T10:30:08.544-07:00What a wonderful post and you are amazing for putt...What a wonderful post and you are amazing for putting into words something which is so hard to express.....:-) HugsBerniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03024565921761129108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344506787084347259.post-23560968206678968482011-08-10T08:17:27.712-07:002011-08-10T08:17:27.712-07:00HI LOVE - oh my, food i a tough addiction and it i...HI LOVE - oh my, food i a tough addiction and it is the sugars' flours, carbs that is addictive, certainly not okra!!! You mentioned triggers. I have learned that just when I think I know all the triggers there are a thousand more lurking waiting to be noticed - I also know that it is whats on the inside that causes us to want the comfort of food and you sharing about how sounds remind you of food is so clear that your memories are filled with times when food was a part of how you lived, survived, thrived, self-soothed. I get it.<br />Love to you<br />Gail<br />peace......-Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11337675996256691215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344506787084347259.post-46285630175702039352011-08-10T07:41:01.181-07:002011-08-10T07:41:01.181-07:00Hi Cin!

Of course for me, just about anything can set me to wanting to eat something. I have to try to keep my mind as busy as possible so it won't think about food.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512313312810812182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344506787084347259.post-4266801632017776412011-08-10T07:34:27.905-07:002011-08-10T07:34:27.905-07:00Some of those triggers are also some of the wonder...Some of those triggers are also some of the wonders of this life. I think your acknowledgement of the triggers is the important thing that will help you know you can take a smell, hear a sweet sound, or see something beautiful but not have to eat soemthing to appreciate it. Hard challenge, but making those new habits really is, isn't it ? But look at how far you have come ?<br />Be kind to your sweet self, Beautiful Heart !Kim Mailhothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13849980369873306402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344506787084347259.post-87419855423089669192011-08-10T05:03:57.919-07:002011-08-10T05:03:57.919-07:00Loved the post and the visual of you in dark glass...Loved the post and the visual of you in dark glasses and a nose clip, Cinner!

I guess the important thing is being aware of it so that it is easier to deal with. I think you can handle it just fine Cinner!!<br />Love Di ♥Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429812875586479256noreply@blogger.com
