A reminder for the weekend... |

Today and over the weekend, can you try to Pause before eating. |
|
Our reaction to stress or anxiety can be to quickly reach for |
|
food to escape the discomfort. Instead can you pause just before |
|
you reach for food, and check in with yourself, �am I really |
|
hungry?� �Is this what I really need right now?� Don�t judge |
|
yourself. Just be curious and watch. Ask yourself, �Is this the |
|
best way to take care of myself? If I eat how will I feel |
|
afterwards?� This means bringing consciousness and awareness to |
|
your eating. It means staying with yourself in the present |
|
moment instead of escaping into food. |

Finding the pause really good, when I remember! It takes so much |
|
practice, but I guess that's to be expected after years of |
|
mindless eating. I think I need to slow down in general. |

If I get off track (as often happens at the weekend!), I do not |
|
berate myself anymore. As soon as I can, I get back on track. |
|
It's ok to make mistakes, |

I've been slowing down more. I've been told that I'm like |
|
roadrunner (remember the cartoon), and when I'm rushed I pick |
|
and eat more. So I've been slowing down more and I' more |
|
connected to myself and pausing more and choosing not to eat. |
|
Long may it last! |

I find it so hard to remember to pause sometimes. It's only |
|
later on that I think, "damn, completely forgot". Oh well, next |
|
time! |

Must remember to leave food behind on my plate. I think I'm part |
|
of the Clean Your Plate Club! |
