This week, do me one favor. Regardless of what diet you’re on, or what event you’re going to that’s stressing you out, either because there will be an obscene amount of food there, or because you bought a dress one size smaller than you are, hoping to fit into it by now, but you binged last week instead, knowing that this event was coming, and rebelling against the size 4 you know you “should” be. Pay attention to when you’re hungry. Listen. To your body. When it tells you that you are hungry. Diets don’t teach you to listen to hunger signals. They tell you what you can’t have. The diet and fitness industry is a multi-billion dollar industry. If we figure out how to live life without diets, how would they make their money? They’re not gonna teach you the simple rules that allow you to live a sane, healthy life. That’s a terrible business plan on their part. Can’t even blame them. But like, I’m no billionaire, so let me go out on a limb here and do the talking. This week, just do me a solid. Listen to your body. When you are eating, are you hungry? Or are you bored? Are you lost? Are you sad? Or are you hungry? What does hunger even feel like? Do you remember? Think about it. I know it’s a crazy concept, well, at least it was for me. Literally it was like, the craziest concept to comprehend. But let me tell you, it’s the most important key to healing. We deserve health , sanity, and happiness. We deserve healing. And if that means giving the diet and fitness industry the cold shoulder, so be it. We have to start listening to ourselves, before we listen to anyone else. Then, we won’t need a spoonful of sugar to help anything go down. We will be able to trust our instincts and live a life outside of the control of food. We are gonna get there. I promise. skinnywithpatti
