This week make a list of all of the foods you love.
ALL the foods, including and especially the ones that you have always labeled “bad” or “fattening” or “forbidden“.
(remember to take into consideration any allergies, sensitivities or health issues and how your body reacts to that food)

Now, choose ONE food on the list and give yourself full permission to eat it.

…bring that food into the house
…make sure that you have more than you could possibly eat of that food available
(in order to not feel the deprivation/last supper feeling)
get the best of that food that’s available
…make sure that you are truly hungry (not starving)

Put the food on a beautiful plate and choose your favorite silverware.
Take one bite. Put your silverware down. Chew your food. Taste it.
Does it taste as good as you remembered or thought it would?
If it does, continue eating and chewing very slowly, enjoying and observing every bite.
When you feel comfortable full and satisfied, stop.
Put the food away.
Know that you can have it again and again WHEN you are hungry for that particular food.

If you want, you can write down your feeling about this. Writing a journal about legalizing your food list can be helpful. It can bring insight to some of the emotions that you have attached to the food. Enjoy the experience.
