Success

[Guest guest]

As says " You get more out of it, the more you put into it. " Well, I've

been listening for two weeks now, and have just now decided to join the group

and post.

I wanted to celebrate a success, though small, that I had today, that proves

that her techniques work. As has always been my habit, if food was nearby, I

would often eat it, without even thinking about it. This morning I had a banana

for breakfast and grabbed a Fiber Bar on my way out the door to work this

morning, with the intent of eating it when I got a bit hungry later in the

morning. As this bar lay on my desk, I found myself opening it, and then just

as the bar touched my tongue and I was about to take a bite, I asked myself,

" What is my intention for eating this bar right now? " I wasn't hungry, in fact,

I only opened it because it was sitting there. I immediately rewrapped it

without taking that first bite. It was then that I realized that I had made one

of those small continuous improvements in my eating habits and I should

celebrate.

Second, I do have a problem that I am a teacher, so my lunch time is set for me,

I don't get to choose when I get to eat. And now that I am more aware of my

hunger, I find myself not hungry at my prescribed time, so now I ask myself

" What is my intention for eating? " It is so that I can have the energy to be at

my very best for the rest of the day. But instead of just eating my favorite

things, I check in with my body, and eat just what I need to get me through

until the next meal.

Finally, here I am in land, all alone, is there anyone else out there to be

my buddy.

Thanks for listening.
