Good heavens, I'm so ready for this month to end and November to begin!
Here's to a good November challenge, everyone. :flowerforyou:
Daily Reminders--Geneen Roth's Eating Guidelines
1. I will eat when I am hungry. (Truly hungry, body hungry not mind hungry)
2. I will eat sitting down in a calm environment. This does not include the car.
3. I will eat without distractions. Distractions include radio, television, newspaper, books, intense or anxiety producing conversation and music.
4. I will eat only what my body wants. (Big difference from what your MIND wants!)
5. I will eat until I am satisfied. (This is different than full.)
6. I will eat (with the intention of being) in full view of others.
7. I will eat with enjoyment, gusto, and pleasure.

8. I will eat slowly.0 -
"I will eat only what my body wants. (Big difference from what your MIND wants!)" -Roth
I learned better what this means in October. On one of my binge days I was feeling so poorly; I had absolutely zero energy all day long because of my dietary choices.
For some reason this day I really thought of Roth's guideline about eating what the _body_ wants. My body was telling me that day that it did not want what I was giving it. My body (including my brain!) was not able to perform well based on what I was giving it. My mind sometimes wants to eat what the body doesn't want to eat. When I don't listen to my body, I suffer the consequences of lethargy and extreme uncomfortableness (not to mention having to deal with the emotional consequences of shame, frustration, and sadness). When I do give my body what it wants and needs, I enjoy the benefit of having the mental and physical energy to meet the my day's responsibilities, challenges, and goals.
I'll try to be more mindful of this in November.0 -
This is a great reminder!! I have fallen way off the wagon this month and had more days of feeling lethargic and uncomfortable than I can even count. I am determined to track all November. When I don't track binges it almost makes is worse. I am so glad it is the beginning of a new month!!!"I will eat only what my body wants. (Big difference from what your MIND wants!)" -Roth

As of October 1, 2012: - Goal to remain mindful of not binging and when I do binge figure out why and what was going on when I binged. I also want to log it all. (25 or more days binge free)
