Do you eat something because you are seeking comfort? Often my clients will tell me they ate something to feel better. It is usually some sort of food that most dieters would consider “forbidden food.” When I ask my clients how they felt afterwards, they said they felt uncomfortable, hazy, heavy, tired, or drugged out. Does that sound like comfort to you?
Our minds are amazing. We know what to eat, or better yet what not to eat, to lose weight. Most of us intellectually understand what we need to do to be healthy and fit, however we sabotage ourselves with our mind’s rationalizations. Next time, when you seek comfort from food, is your body really getting comfort or is it your mind?

Gee, I wonder where you got the idea for the picture of the french fries?!! While they do look good, I’m learning that I don’t feel good after I eat them. Finally able to feel the effect of foods on my body and pay attention to it! Thanks!
Marge it’s amazing how powerful our brain is with what it tells us to believe. We tell ourselves we want this and it will make us feel better when it actually does not. Glad to hear that you are able to feel the effect of foods on your body. Progress is being made.
