Pay Attention!

Pay Attention!
Eating. We do it every day; three, four, five times a day or more. We have eaten food since birth, and there are some good and bad feelings associated with eating. It is easy to become numb while eating, which is why some of us eat extra. It is also convenient and acceptable on some levels to try to and eat your feelings away. Today ask yourself how are you feeling? Pay attention to your feelings before, during and after you eat.

Common feelings include:
    Hunger
    Anger
    Loneliness
    Tired

Also known as HALT.  It is easy to get swallowed up by your emotions especially strong emotions like anger, loneliness, self-loathing and even exhaustion. Food is safe for many people, as it is not illegal and no one regulates your personal daily intake, except you. Unlike alcohol you can't stop eating food, it is everywhere and you need it to survive. So that's where moderation and healthy behaviors come in, and don't forget pleasure. Enjoying the sweet taste of a strawberry because you want it and not because you emotionally need can be satisfying and life changing for the body and the soul.

Things will begin to change when you begin to change your daily actions and habits. Sometimes this happens overnight and sometimes it will take awhile. Life is great and it is here for your enjoyment if you take the reins and move forward into a life of greatness and joy. Begin by acknowledging and writing down your feelings throughout the day and while you eat. If these feelings are too much for you to handle and work through, search out a competent professional to help you, because your life is worth it!
