Put the fork down down
\ndown into your inner inquiries
\npiercing the right thoughts<\/em>
\nBursting at the Seams? Stuffed to the Gills?<\/strong>
\nWhen I asked my group at my weight loss workshop at Omega, “How do you know you are sated,” they looked at me like I had three heads.
\nI asked (again), “You know, how do you know when you are satisfied, full; how do you know that it’s time to put down the fork and knife and stop eating.”
\nThey said …
\nWhen the Biggest Loser is over.
\nWhen the bag of chips is empty.
\nWhen it’s time to go back to bed.<\/em>
\nNone of which had anything to do with their internal state; all external cues.
\nNow, I ask you!!!<\/em>
\nHOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU ARE SATED?
\nWHEN DO YOU PUT THE FORK, KNIFE & SPOON DOWN, down, down, down???
\nHere are a few simple steps that will help you to STOP EATING!!! Are you ready?! Good!
\nTUNE INTO that “full” feeling.<\/strong> When you are one quarter of the way through your meal, come to a FULL STOP! And then, go inside and check in with your body.
\nYour body is an amazingly intuitive, tuned in, fabulous being in it of itself, without your thoughts getting in its way, weighing it down! So … Get out of your head, and go into your body, and ask, “On a scale of 1 to 10, how full are you?” (ten being the highest) If you are a 10, ought oh! Put the fork down and push away from the table. If you are at a 2 or 3, eat until you are 1\/2 way through your meal and check in again. Decide what number is comfortable for you, and ‘study’ it. What does it feel like to be ‘sated?’ Not hungry; not full … just right. Where is your just right? Study it!!! Remember it!
\nSMELL your food.<\/strong> Stop 1\/4 of the way through and smell it. If your food starts to smell unappetizing, say greasy or heavy or bad in any way, that is a signal from your body that you are done! Study that smell!!! Remember it!
\nHow TIGHT are your pants?<\/strong> Pay attention, because your belly does expand as you eat, and if your waistband is tight, you are past full. Where do you draw the line?
\nMASTICATE your food slowly.<\/strong> Remember, it takes 20 minutes for the mind and stomach to catch up. You will eat less if you chew slowly and chewing slowly aides digestion.
\nGot it?<\/strong> Now follow these steps and let me know … When do you put the fork down? In fact, you can keep on asking yourself, “When do you put the fork down?<\/em>” And emphasize those words ‘put the fork down,’<\/em> as you think them. Say it over and over again and you will effectively be self-hypnotizing yourself to put the fork down.<\/em>
\nEnjoy your day!
\nSpread the word … NOT the icing!
