The New You: Seek Satisfaction

If listening to your body seems too difficult when compared to restriction, or rule following; such as limiting calories, or food groups all together (like no carbs, no dairy, etc.) then just work towards finding your satisfaction. We all know how irritated and "hangry" we feel when we don't eat enough and it also doesn't feel good when we over indulge and end up in a sleepy coma. The key is to find the satisfying balance between your mind and your belly. Some actually encourage following cravings to the point of eating dessert for dinner because you are going to get the point of feeling so unhealthy that you will desire more substantial healthy meals. Did you know that avoiding foods you crave interferes with weight and appetite control? An eating behaviors report published in January of 2012 found this to be true. I don't want to belabor previous points made in this series but if you understand you can eat a cupcake, or donut anytime and it's not a "bad" food you will decide that that is OR is not what you want. You will find yourself just walking past the sweets and treats in the break room if they do not meet your "satisfaction" standards. Food is meant to nourish our body and full fat dairy is the type of yogurt I eat. I eat what I want when I want to and have a good relationship with my body and mind. It's time for the 'New You'! Start by 'Seeking Satisfaction' and remember there are no "bad foods". #cleaneats #livewell #livewellgr #empowerwomem #intuitiveeating #satisfied #instadaily #foodie #foodstagram #foodlover #food #foodblogger #foodies
