I used…. But it is not the end of the world
7. Honor Your Feelings Without Using Food….. Of the 10 Principles of Intuitive Eating.
Well there is no chastising here! I just had a day with my family (Mom and stepfather) and it was fine. Did some shopping for my Mom and played Settlers while she had to watch some Curling, played bowling on the Wii….hehe We went out for dinner and I felt rushed to eat, not sure why. So I ate too much and did not chew as much as I have been trying to do.
So, I ate a bit much today too and did not adhere to some food combining principles (since I am trying to deal with some digestive issues and sensitives) and I have really been feeling better in the days prior too, but no biggie. I am still in a good place. I respected myself by stopping the binge before it really escalated. Felt quite full (and still do really) but I worked out a little and did some personal care stuff. I really do feel so much better, because I am remembering that the only thing that matters is this moment and what I do with it. So, I guess I needed to be real here and share because this is the first time in what seems like a long time that I have felt like I was in that dark room. And I am real. I am not perfect. Nor do I want to be. But one thing is for sure, my body is telling me that next time I should plan a nice meal instead of consuming the repetitive foods. Guilt? No way! I have no time for that!
Good thing was that I went out for an early walk and also did some cardio…..
What made me depressed? Really??? Could it have been the hours and hours of TLC’c What Not To Wear? Perhaps…lol
Have a great moment… and week everyone. ![]()
That is awesome. I used to think that a “slip-up” was the end of the world, my perfect day was ruined so throw caution to the wind and dig in. It would take days of working hard to undo the damage. I recently learned that if I slip-up, deal with it and move forward. I’m learning not to dwell on it. Great job!

i bet it was the TV! Gets me all the time - reminding me how this moment is not right because of this or that i don;’t have, look like, or know how to do. Glad to hear you here and being real. Seems like you are good at noticing yourself and the patterns that you don’t find so helpful. Moment to moment truly is what we have, eh? With that off to sleep i go for some self care.
Good Place, Good Blog Jennifer. Sounds like fun with Mom and Stepdad
Even more fun you got to play bowling on the Wii!!! We’ve been looking for the last few weeks for one , no luck 
So happy to see you are taking each moment for yourself, finding happiness in this life we have been so blessed with. Love ya!!
