The Helm (for us Mindful Eaters)
Oh I connected! I know you will too! Happy Hump Day, hugs Debbie
The following is a thought I ran across this morning. It came from Productiveflourishing and was specifically talking about something else but ... like so many other thoughts I come across, I find this one too apropos to not pass it along to you.
"Rather than running around the ship worrying about what will happen, grab the helm and get it through the storm.
p.s. It’s okay to run around the ship for a bit, just as it’s okay to let it coast. The point is to know what you’re doing and why you’re doing it."
You can't sail a ship one day, let it drift for the next and expect to get where your going by the third if it is a three day trip under sail. Auto pilot doesn't get you to your weight loss goals -- it gets you to your current weight. Don't worry about your weight -- grab the helm and get through the storm.

Hi Connie,
How are you doing? Getting those portion sizes under control?
I too liked this post, we just gotta "take charge" and it puts it into perspective.
Finally I'm learning and getting comfortable with knowing I can push food away from me.
I'm keeping mindful and when the food stops tasting fantastic in my mouth, I've been pushing it away. Learning that a small portion of something that normally I don't eat, such as a treat will NOT make me fat.
Oh yeah...slowly I'm relearning new ways to embrace food, savor it and know it's not going to send me off to the deep end.
