#over-eating

Do you practice mindful eating? A good way to both enjoy your food more and avoid over-eating once your stomach is full. 

(via 6 Tips for Resisting the Urge to Overeat at Holiday Feasts)

Don’t get me wrong – I’m the last person to recommend trying to stick to some strict diet on Thanksgiving. I think that (barring severe allergies or food sensitivities) that there are times when we can have ‘legal cheats’ from whatever eating program we might be following. And certainly a holiday spent with loved ones and centered around food is one of them!

What I AM talking about is staying tuned into your own body. It is an act of self-love to listen to your body’s signals. That overstuffed feeling just doesn’t really feel good! And, remember, only you know your own body. While one person might feel full consuming half as much food as you can comfortably eat, for another it might take twice as much to get them to satiation.

We thought we'd have a sandwich

Oh here we go again!

Perhaps a bowl of fries?"

Just a simple sandwich

And simple pot of tea

Bread .... Filling .... Bread

Thanks for the tip!

For this anon.
