And tonight I feel more centered than usual (ma...:)<br />And tonight I feel more centered than usual (maybe thanks to the double mind-body classes I did today). I tuned in inwards and ate the correct portion for dinner - just enough to keep me satisfied and yet light enough to not over tax my digestive system while i am sleeping later.<br />Didnt finish the fish and eggs (instead of clean plate mentality).<br />A funny thought came to my mind - "I am not a dog, why should i finish everything that is served? I eat to satisfy & nourish myself" :P<br />Funny thought, but profound (at least to me).<br />Wow it has been looong time since i last blogged about my eating habits. Ever since i got the hang of beginner's level of intuitive eating, i havent been writing much about it.<br />Now that I consider myself at the "intermediate" level, here's my understanding of the levels.<br />Beginner- dare to eat WITHOUT rules, eat what i feel like eating, not restricting due to body consciousness. Initiated from within (mind/heart) instead of outwardly (eg. need to look thin therefore eat less/ cant eat this and that). Courage to risk gaining weight as a side effect of intuitive eating. Lesser & shorter episodes of emotional eating/binges. Forgiveness comes easily.<br /><br />Intermediate - more in tune with hunger/fullness scale. Able to adjust accordingly - the food intake to my body/mind/soul's needs. Able to accept my body as it is. Able to make wise food decisions (what my body/mind/soul really needs instead of emotional eating). Very very rare/ very very short episodes of emotional eating. Can get back to normal eating almost instantly (next meal I am already eating normally). No/very minimal feeling of guilt, just awareness. I am so glad i found Intuitive Eating. It's a beautiful concept to live by. Where I realise i dont have to struggle. Life is NOT a struggle. We just BE.Thanks for making a difference in my life! *hugs & kisses*Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06486105103025948887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23378467.post-78307737464158958302010-03-04T10:38:29.128-08:002010-03-04T10:38:29.128-08:00I couldn't have said it better myself!
