Re: Eat to Live in the Moment

I do think that what you are supposed to do in a party is mingling, chatting, noshing and sipping, it is what everyone who attends a party does! It is just that you have to plan ahead the area in which you are likely to have a problem. If you know you are likely to pig out in a party, mingle, chat, sip, dance, and do any other thing that comes with the party, only limit the amount of food you will eat. Being intuitive in a party might not be possible if you don't have tons of practice. Actually, for people without eating disorders overeating at a party might not be a problem, but for us, it might involve a problem for our health. Do we always have to run risks to learn from situations? I don't think so. My idea is that you already know how you might behave in a party, and you must programme yourself to get the most of it. If you overeat and you learn a lesson from it, you might turn out a wiser intuitive eater, but you screwed up the chance you had to fully enjoy a party.

I subscribe to daily e-mails from Yoga Journal magazine. Yesterdays was very much about IE and I thought I'd share it with you all. The only thing I didn't like was the line about resisting when your favourite dessert beckons.

Eat to Live in the Moment

A little indulgence is natural when you're with friends. But get carried away and you'll end up bloated, tired, and bummed out. According to Ayurvedic principles, there's a physiological reason for this: When you eat in moderation, your body and mind are happy. But when you eat too much, you overwhelm your agni (the digestive fire), creating chaos in your belly and inviting unpleasant imbalances such as gas, weight gain, and depression.

Thankfully, you don't have to possess superhuman strength to tame your urge to overeat. Even as your favorite dessert beckons, a few simple strategies can help you resist. Be mindful of multitasking, for instance, and try to avoid too much stimulation. If you find yourself mingling, chatting, noshing, and sipping all at the same time, you're less likely to enjoy your food, which will leave you hankering for more.. What's more, you probably won't recognize when you're full. So take a few moments to let someone else be the life of the party while you eat silently. There's nothing wrong with enjoying delicious food—the key is finding ways to be present so you can enjoy but not overdo.
