Have I Eaten Enough?
Article: First, Eat Something HealthyYou're hungry, You want to eat. You have paid attention to what you need emotionally. When it seemed like you needed comfort, you already did comfort yourself in nonfood ways. When you needed relief from boredom, you did something interesting. When you needed to tune-out, you actually did tune in to the issue at hand, even if it was just a little bit. And, even after paying attention to your emotional needs: You're still hungry, If tuning in to your emotional needs did not give you the information necessary to take care of yourself, maybe you can get more information if you take away the question of 'to eat or not to eat' all together. Next, try something with which you are more familiar. Eat. Whenever you are actually stomach-growling hungry (even if your mind tells you that you should not be hungry), EAT. Only, I suggest that you eat something healthy. I recommend that you HAVE A HEALTHY FOOD CHOICE AVAILABLE TO YOU AT ALL TIMES. If you were taking care of a little one for the day, you would always have healthy snacks stuffed in your bag, just in case the little one got hungry. Give yourself the same care. When you are not actually stomach-growling hungry, but you really want something anyway; it is all right to EAT. Just eat something healthy first. Think about your day, ask yourself: "Have I eaten enough fruits and veggies?" "Have I eaten enough protein?" "Have I had enough water?" Think about the nutritious foods you still need today, and give yourself the food your body needs. After you have eaten something healthy, give your body and mind some time to react. (It takes twenty minutes for food you have eaten to affect the glucose levels in your blood so that your brain gets the chemical signal that you are full.) Then, when a little time has gone by, you will notice that your craving is gone or your craving is still tugging at you. If your craving is gone after eating something healthy, Yes, that is what I said, eat whatever you want. There is only one catch. It is very important that you REALLY ENJOY WHAT YOU EAT. Savor every bite. Especially since you are eating to satisfy a craving, this is the time to savor your food and NOTICE WHEN YOU ARE SATISFIED. When you are satisfied, why eat anymore? This is a comfortable time to stop eating. There is no wrestling match with your will power, no restriction. You just ate some healthy foods and some 'entertainment' food. That's fine.
