If you’ve been over drinking or over eating lately, listen to this episode while you’re beating yourself up. My hope is that it gives you an understanding of your beautiful defiance. And that it softens your judgment about your behavior and the behavior of others. Pain and suffering are distinctly different. Let’s talk about that.

Especially charged up about eating today? Well that’s normal. Make time for yourself to listen to this Guided Meditation before today’s meal/s or any meals. Prep yourself before you go into the fray. Let me know how it goes. No day is forever and no meal is forever.

I learned a very simple tool on how to identify what my body was craving. My eating coach was Molly Groger who wrote a book called “Eating awareness training.” You can still get it on Amazon. Mind you it has the language of the 80s because it was the 80s. I remember my first time I got to decide what I was craving and what my stomach wanted without having any restrictions. I took a leap of faith bythrowing away the diet mindsets I had collected. There have been so many years of binge rebounding because I was forbidding and resisting certain BAD foods. Well. That never worked. Thank God.

Heading into The wildness of the evening or the weekend means more cravings for most of us. The impulse to escape or rebel is natural and needed. It shows you’re alive. That there is that spark inside that wants to break out and raise hell. Or maybe even destruct whatever you’ve built up. Because everything. Let’s talk about how to honor and accept and FEEL that impulse while moving towards your future self.

Seeing progress in your journey to your natural weight is exhilarating. As you move closer and closer to your goal, the underneath will start coming up. The underneath is the feelings, situations, memories, wounds that live Underneath your compulsions. We must face the underneath or we will not be able to maintain long lasting change. You can face what has been hidden and you don’t have to do it alone.

The gift of body negativity. I don’t know if there was a lot more body hatred back in the 80s and 90s. Somehow I doubt it. I was screaming inside my body SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT AND I HATE IT. I’m glad It was loud. Without that voice, there would’ve been no transformation.

This is my version of the hunger scale. When I stop and start eating. Most of the time. As a wise tribe says “take what you want and leave the rest”. The hunger scale I’m reading from in the episode was found on Rachel Hartley’s page.

It’s ok to get mad or sad for a couple minutes after a failed attempt at anything! Let your voices out. Even negative, bitchy ones. My snide bitch voice is named Sylvia. She is featured on this episode. Who is yours? They need to be heard before you can move forward. The key is not to listen to them for an hour but to give them 3 to 5 minutes airtime.

This was my first episode- please forgive some of the pauses ! Alex describes an eating experience in which she couldn’t tell if she had enough. What do you do if you don’t have great body awareness and you’re trying to mindfully eat but can’t tell if this is the time to say goodbye to this meal ?? She walks you through a solution.  more info on THE WEIGHTING : https://www.facebook.com/groups/midlifeweighting/?ref=share
