I come to write just now with an over-filled -full- stomach.
I just had a bowl of chocolate ice cream with bananas, strawberries and peanuts. And, as I much I don’t want to admit, a swirl of chocolate syrup wrapped in. Oh, how happy my mouth was. lol
And, yet, here I sit, full and uncomfortable.
I used to be real good at asking myself before I ate something, if it was going to make me feel better or not. If I said yes, I would eat it and if I responded no, I would not. That worked for me for a long time; fairly easily.
Lately, oh lately, I haven’t even been asking myself this question. It is like I have completely forgotten about this question.
What is a woman to do… !
Tomorrow is another day. I can bring this question forward in my mind and remember it. I can, at the very least, be open to doing so. I shall see what happens.
May you be open to doing what works in your best interest, health, happiness and well-being.
Even if I made a smaller bowl, I would not feel as full. I can substitute ice cream for a dark piece of chocolate; perhaps some chocolate pudding. A bowl of fruit tastes really good to me too. I can often think of it as my ‘candy’.
I hope I remember this feeling. I hope I remember not liking this feeling. I hope I treat myself kinder and with more love and affection.
Awareness comes first.
May you stay in awareness of what works for you and what doesn’t… Awareness of what you want to feel like and what you don’t want to be creating as an uncomfortable, unhealthy experience for yourself.
In this, we find confidence, joy, strength, feel-good and ‘oh yeah’.
May you get your ‘oh yeah’ on. I believe in you.
