Food Body Image Day 3

Negative Talk:
There's really no point, it won't work.
No one is looking anyway.
No one cares.
Too old
Pig
Disgusting


Everything takes time.  It took a lot of time to gain this and it is the result of a lot of trauma.  The things that happened to result in this are bigger than a eating problem.  You did what you could when you could.  Now you are doing this.  It will take time to learn. 
No one may be looking, but so what.  What does it matter what anyone thinks.
You care.  You need to be aware of your health and make it a priority. 
Caring for yourself will result in better relationships.  They may need to take a cut in "their" wants and time, but the quality will be better.  Some of these people need to take care of themselves anyway.
You are not a pig, you just know good food when you taste it. 
You are not disgusting.  These are things people told you to gain control over you to better themselves.  They are weak.  You are not. 

Food & Body Image Day 2

In your experience, what has not honoring your hunger shown you?
Anger, nerves, over eating
In your experience, what has not allowing yourself unconditional permission to eat what you’d like shown you? Well, usually I allow myself to eat whatever, that's how I got into the shape I am in.  However, I also frequently won't allow myself what I want and make do with something else.  Something better.  Then I find I keep eating looking for satisfaction.  Either way I lose.

With this insight in mind, how can you better honor your hunger? Eat what is healthy.  If still hungry, eat what I want that might not be considered healthy.

Food & Body Image Day 1

In my body, the physical sensation of hunger feels like...nervousness.
 To better honor my hunger in a timely, caring manner it may be helpful to experiment with....eating small portions when hunger arises rather than trying to hold it off until desperate.
In my body, the physical sensation of fullness feels like..comfort.
 To better honor my fullness in a timely, caring manner it may be helpful to experiment with...eat until no longer hungry, then finding something else that brings comfort.

In my body, the physical sensation of feeling satisfied from an eating experience feels like..relief.
 To better allow myself to experience satisfaction from an eating experience it may be helpful to experiment with....eating what I want to begin with, but with smaller portions.

In my body, the physical sensation of emotions I experience during a challenging food or body image moment feels like...I don't like it.

To better allow myself to take care of myself during these challenging food or body image moments, it may be helpful to experiment with.....not having them?

self worth day 3- intentions

Today’s Day 2 of the Self Worth Challenge. I just got done learning about the power of intention and one of the biggest things that stuck out to me was I cannot take care of everyone, but I can take care of me. Part of today’s challenge was completing this intention exercise where we create 6 different kinds of intentions. The categories are creativity, loving kindness, appreciation, growth, abundance, and receiving. I’m going to share my Top 3 favorite ones that I created.

#1 is focus on health. #2 is let go of others' problems and #3 is ask purpose of problems.

Self Worth day 1

Today is Day 1 of this Self Worth Challenge that I'm doing (with Amanda @doit_like you). I'm feeling _stressed out about it and am excited for  some peace . Today's all about living in alignment with yourself and really discovering what lights up my soul and what depletes it. I've created these two new rules for myself to help set better boundaries around the things I want to take time for. Rule #1 is _Eat within my points allowance and Rule #2 is _have  a weekly fun event.
