oh my, a piece of pie!
May 20th, 2012please click here to visit the full intuitiveeating4ever newsletter/blog
OH MY, A PIECE OF PIE!
Why does it seem that “everyone else” (i.e. those naturally thin people) can have all the special holiday goodies they desire. Do you think they worry that tomorrow the scale won’t be their best friend? What goes on in their head when confronted with such tempting choices…warm cookies fresh from the oven…hot apple pie topped with real vanilla ice cream…mashed potatoes…egg nog…baked brie drizzled with caramel…
We watch them go for firsts, seconds and dare we see them return again for more?
Guess what? Naturally thin people and intuitive eaters don’t over think about what they are going to eat whether at a holiday party or just relaxing at home with family and friends. If they’re hungry and in the mood for a particular food…they just reach for it and enjoy each bite…the texture…the flavor…the presentation on the plates…
It never enters their mind that they “shouldn’t” eat this or taste that. They realize that they can have that food again at a later time when they are hungry for it. It’s better to feel satisfied and just plain “not hungry anymore” than that “oh my god I’m stuffed”, “take a pin and pop it” feeling. They don’t have an instant and constant dialog going on in their head when they reach for their food. “Will I be bad or good?” “If I eat that piece of pie that looks so amazing what will I think of myself after?” “Well, if I go to the gym for 3 days in a row, then it’ll be okay if I eat it”…”No I can’t, I’ve been so good today”. “Why can ____ have this pie and never gain an ounce”…”I bet I’m gaining a pound just thinking of eating it”…”I really don’t NEED that piece of pie, I have willpower, I can be good”. “How bad can just one piece be?????” And on and on and on and on.
Guess what that naturally thin or intuitive eater thinks about when they see that piece of pie?
“Yum”!!!
That’s it. No big battles. No rationalizations. No conversations going on in their heads…
just “ok”, or “no thank you”.
What a concept!

stop…look…listen
May 11th, 2012please click here to visit the full intuitiveeating4ever newsletter/blog
STOP…LOOK…and LISTEN
STOP…LOOK…and LISTEN
Do you remember hearing adults say this to you when you were young and wanting to cross the street “all by yourself”? Well, put that advice to good use now!
When you feel hungry ,apply this when choosing what to eat. After all, we are always “all by ourselves” and we are the ones that know ourselves the best.
STOP…get quiet
LOOK…look at your food choices in a different way – an Intuitive Eating Way – a Naturally Thin Person’s way
and LISTEN…listen to your body…what are you really hungry for?
are you feeling happy? excited? anxious? worried? remorseful? frustrated? overwhelmed? stressed? bored? lonely? or even warm and cozy?
Or could it be that you are really just thirsty? Is it food that you really want? If it is, there are endless possibilities of ways to really satisfy that hunger.
Do you want something crunchy? sweet? sour? smooth? hot? cold? spicy?…
When you STOP…LOOK and LISTEN and then give yourself the gift of a meal you will love, you will experience the wonderful and fulfilling feeling of being truly nourished!

“be yourself. everyone else is taken!”…oscar wilde
April 15th, 2012please click here to visit the full intuitiveeating4ever newsletter/blog
“Be yourself. Everyone else is taken!”
Recently I came across a quote by Oscar Wilde…”Be yourself. Everyone else is taken!” As children, most of us are constantly told we can be anything we want to be. We are praised for the good and interesting things that we do and most of the time, punished for the not so good things that we do. We learn that it feels good to be praised and rewarded for something that we have done. I remember being told that we should be an individual. But, really what was expected was that we should “fit in with the crowd”. “Don’t be too extreme or odd or too far from the norm or else you will be pegged as different. Not different in a good way either. Different in a way that most would say was “out there”. What do we learn from this as children? We hear the words “be an individual” yet the actions of those around us say the complete opposite. It seems that children now are recognized for their strengths as well as their weaknesses or different behaviors. As adults we now know how important it is that in order to instill confidence we need to show our children how great it feels to be successful at being just who they are…nothing different. We make great attempts to give them opportunities where they can fall and learn to get up themselves. We watch with oh so careful eyes what skills and interests they excel in. We try to downplay their weaknesses and help them to improve. I think the adults of tomorrow will be able to more easily see the “greatness” in themselves, allowing them to shine as the person they are instead of constantly trying to be “that other person over there”.For as far back as I can remember, I somehow got lost in the notion that everyone else was better at everything than I was. Everyone could attain better grades, make friends easier, be better test takers, look better in clothes and most of all I always felt so envious of all of the people that could eat what they wanted and not make an issue of it. They ate what they wanted, liked, craved and that was that. I cannot remember a day that I ever ate even one bite of anything without attaching to it a huge amount of guilt. I began my lifelong self-defeating roller coaster of dieting, deprivation, extreme will power, chemical foods and simply feeling different than everyone else. I just couldn’t feel successful at anything. For some reason, because I couldn’t conquer my weight issues, my self esteem and ability to think that I could be my best self just couldn’t blossom. All that I did or attempted to do was tied into the fact that I couldn’t stay at an “acceptable weight”. Who set the norm for the “acceptable weight” anyway? We all are unique and began with “no diet mentality baggage”. We all began being fed when we were hungry, only ate what we liked and never would accept a morsel or drink of any food when we were no longer hungry. We all thought that the world revolved around us when we were babies and that made us smile. As soon as we “learned” to conform to what was expected of us whether it was what to do, who to like, which subject we should do well in, when and what to eat from outside sources; we actually began to try to “be like everyone else”. I am a constant work in progress. I am in a place in my life where I can honestly say “I’m so glad to be me!”. I wouldn’t trade all of my insecurities, failures, doubts, weight issues, or anything for that matter, for anything in the world. Those are the very things that actually brought me to where I am today. I am an original and I’ve worked hard to be here. Think about your beginnings and where you are now and what you think of yourself. There really is never going to be another you and as far as I know we only go around once…so take a look at the things in your life that you have considered to be your weaknesses or failures and see if you can look at them as stepping stones that brought you to be the best you can before now. I so agree with Oscar Wilde…”Be Yourself. Everyone Else Is Taken!”
