Food

I find myself challenged by some of the foods I am currently choosing to eat.  Comfort foods with sugar and/or fat.

I’m reaching for the easy.  I am reaching for a ‘fix’.  I know that when I’d rather have something (too often) that is not the best choice, I am not eating because I am hungry.

I often ask myself  ‘If I eat this, will I feel better..”  If I said ‘yes’, I would eat it.  If I said ‘no’, I would not.

I am not asking myself this lately and I want the comfort food.

As I was walking near the kitchen today, I realized that food spelled backwards is doof.  I heard my self saying don’t be a doof with the food you choose…

So, I come here thinking about this and I’m not sure what I will do with this information/awareness/mindfulness.

I know that I want to feel good or the best I can be with the food I choose.

I drink green smoothies with blueberries on a regular basis.  I eat avocado.  I eat nuts.  I also greatly enjoy the “Haagen Daz” caramel cone ice cream bars.

My goal is to be more aware of what I choose to ingest.  I want to be more aware while digesting.  I am open to choosing foods that energize me and don’t weigh me down.

It matters.  I matter.  You matter.  Life, how we choose to live it, matters.

May you choose the foods that energize You and don’t weigh You down; more often than not.   

Foods that do not put the weight on but have us feeling good about our choices; as much and as often as possible.

Choose You – energized and light; mindful and getting your health on.

Don’t be backwards with the food you choose.  Don’t be a doof.   Oh my.

May you be your ultimate foodie self.   

p.s.  I am aware that while I’m playing with the non-word ‘doof’, it is not the kindest way of being to my self.  

May you be aware of your own self-talk and shoot for self-kindness.  Thank You.
