When self-discipline fails.. PHAT

We all have those moments when the effort to put on the brakes is too much. Here's the intuitive way to fulfill your inner baby and protect your real-time body:

Start easy.

Bypass the emotional hot buttons to connect with your body when frustrated with temptation by relying on the intuitive basics - your physical senses. 

Pamper yourself by eating sensually. 

Just use one sense: Taste.

• Taste what tempts you and really savor it. 
• Make love to your food with your tongue.  Do it slowly.
• Taste what you eat as if it's your last meal.
• Search for pleasure and satisfaction. 

Intuitive eating is sensual and very seductive in a satisfying way. 

It's when you zone into your body and what feels good with every bite. 

There is nothing forbidden, but lots that's pretty, hot and tempting. 

Enjoy eating, and enjoy yourself by tuning-in to what you taste. 

 
Pamper yourself with pleasure and dignity. Be sensual and get satisfaction. As you use your intuition you gain a permanent weightless understanding of yourself and you lose weight.

For the past few weeks,  Am I Really Hungry? has been a best seller on amazon.com under health: mind and body and mind-body connection ! People are using the book to change their lives! Give yourself a gift!

Self-discipline is a handrail to grab to stay clear about where we want to get. But sometimes our goals are hard to reach. We're too tired, or our inner baby just wants to eat cake. That's when the only available transportation is a leap of faith.

• Have faith that you deserve a body that is healthy and feels good. 
• Trust that it's worth the short-term frustration of ignoring your inner baby to have the long-term result of liking yourself. 
• Take the leap when you can't deal with self-discipline and you'll discover yourself smiling.

2011/ Momentum

A New Year's resolution it is a commitment you make to yourself with inner courage for back bone, and Faith in what's right as your guide. This is the year to become an intuitive eater. 

A New Year's resolution is you taking control of your Life. 

Intuitive eating is you taking control of your eating.
  
Transforming from a mindset of 'dieting' to being an intuitive eater is a resolution that will serve you for the rest of you Life. This time next year you can be more comfortable around foods that tempt you, and happier with your body. 
Making a resolution creates momentum. 

At a party last night I did the 'intuitive pause' and used my senses look and listen. I was grateful to see abundant food and hear good cheer and people making New Year's resolutions. Energy in the room was enthusiastic, promising and positive. 2011 will be a year of seeing things differently. It will be a year to be less critical of yourself and more open to your potential. That's exciting.

More and more people are reaching out to learn about intuitive eating. I am finding myself in demand to speak, coach individuals and lead groups to maintain their healthy weight. A recent podcast, http://patrickwanis.com/RadioInterviews.asp#IntuitiveEating has helped spread the word. 

IntuEating.com is a new site set up for you to use to keep up the momentum with some concrete help as you use your intuition to lose weight , or to just maintain your weight. Yo-yo dieting is so last year.

 

May the sparkle of the New Year find you with good health, happiness, success, satisfaction and enthusiasm...

and if you're still working on all of that-

Wishing you sureness of purpose, balance between what you want and what you need, an open mind and brave spirit guiding you to fulfill your  dreams in 2011.
