Weekly goal


This week's goal will be a little closer to the heart for both me and Sandra ...
We have for quite a long time been fighting with our relationships with food, where it has gone from one extreme to the other. Being super disciplined and bordering on self- starvation in an attempt to make the weight before competitions, to overeating massive amounts when the body and brain wants to compensate after. We've lost our balance, and lost the feeling of hunger . During periods of cutting weight we have disregarded our hunger, and the periods in between we have eaten despite the hunger never being there, only because our impulses says that we have to.
It has become a very distorted way of eating, and a distorted relationship with food. This week we will try to work towards a balance, and try to work towards getting back to the feeling of hunger. Have you heard about Mindful Eating? In short, it is about making thoughtful choices and thinking about how you feel before, during and after a meal.
Feeling before if you are hungry or just tired , sad, bored ...
Feeling how the food tastes, how the texture feels , savor each bite ...
Feeling after that you are pleasantly full, no longer hungry but not stuffed...
Making conscious choices about what to eat. Prioritize nutrition and eating what your body needs, not what the impulses is telling you that you want. Eat what you know will make you feel good afterwards, what makes you full but not nausious, and that never leaves the negative thoughts behind.
I found a website that goes a little deeper into Mindful Eating, and i truly recommend everyone to read it and join us in this weeks goal.
