And here I am.
Yesterday I had no problem not snacking between meals but I did have seconds because it was the first night I was going without a dessert or two or three in a very long time. I felt like I had to keep eating more food to make up for it. Tonight, my goal is to incorporate some kind of fruit for dessert into my dinner and to not have seconds. I really like not snacking between meals because I feel genuinely hungry for my meals and they taste much better.

eta: I really think all the work I did with IE is helping me a lot with NoS. I rarely eat for emotional reasons anymore, did lots of work with that and becoming more assertive and meeting my own needs so I don't usually need to eat to take care of my non hunger needs. Also, I am pretty good now at eating when Im hungry and stopping when Im satisfied. Before when I did NOs I was not yet in touch with that and I had HUGE plates of food and I ate them all. I also really struggled with after dinner with emotional/soothing/caretaking eating and now that is rarely an issue. Its not that I don't emotionally overeat sometimes, but I definitely do it way way less. I think I just needed a bit more of a framework/structure/habit to put my IE in. We will see if that actually ends up working.
