I have posted before about mindful eating, meaning don't just phase out & eat like you do popcorn at the movie theater & before you know it, you have eaten the whole large tub of popcorn adding tons of calories & fat to your bod!This article from the Care2 website, a great environmental and healthy living website, came from my sis, Bethe. It is of course about mindful eating and more. Like I have said before, sit down & enjoy that food. It takes the stomach 20 minutes to register being full so take a bite, chew it up completely, taste the goodness, enjoy it AND put your fork down in between bites so that you do that! The article also discusses the uniqueness of us all & how we should work our food program to what is right for us. Now, where have you heard that .. right here! For example, some people like salty/crunchy snacks & others like sweet/chocolate snacks, others like puddings & so on. You have to make a food program that you can live with for life!

A second article from my sis from the same site is on dependency & denial. Here is a piece of that article which will hit home for many: "Having defined specifically the exact emotion you are experiencing, whether it is fear, anger, guilt, or depression, express the origins of this feeling to yourself through writing or journaling. Be careful not to use the language of victimization. Once you have completed this task, share these feelings with someone you can trust. Next you may release them through a ritual of your own devising–such as dancing, or burning the papers on which you have written down your experiences. Finally, celebrate the release of this blocked energy. Instead of denying your suffering, which only prolongs it, now you have defined, expressed, shared, released, and celebrated it–and moved on."
