PROBLEM: Emotional Eating
Many people struggle with their weight because they're out of touch with their bodies.
They've lost touch with true hunger and fullness signals. So they mindlessly snack or emotionally eat instead.
When a person is out of touch with their body, it can cause them to eat large amounts of food or eat "unconsciously".
Use this simple 3-Step formula next time you eat to get back in touch with your body and start savoring your food more.
Step 1: SAY "THANK YOU"
Before you take that first bite, simply pause and really look at the food you're about to eat.
Take a deep breath with a loooong sloooow exhale and say "Thank you"
This puts you back in touch with your body and helps you pay attention to your experience.
*Science shows that when you savor your food, you absorb more nutrients, digest better, and reduce stress and anxiety.
Step 2: PAY ATTENTION
Place that first bite in your mouth and really notice how it feels.
Notice the texture, smell, and flavor. You might even be grateful that your jaw works so well as you chew.
Step 3: TALK TO YOUR BODY
It's pretty hard to build a relationship with someone you never talk to, isn't it? Now that you're becoming friends with your body again, it's time to start talking to it.
As you PAY ATTENTION to that first bite of food, say to your body, in the kindest way. . .
"I am easily satisfied."
"It's easy for me to notice I've had enough and easily push extra food away."
*Notice the subtle shifts that take place when you say empowering things to yourself.
Say nice things about your abilities by saying, "I can easily recognize and respond to satisfaction."
This formula works because it lets you notice satisfaction.
It turns your natural "hunger" and "fullness" signals back on.
As you enjoy your food more, you'll notice satisfaction sooner.
Before you know it, you'll find yourself shrinking without even trying.
