When love is in the air, can you recognize it? It feels like tenderness and passion at the same time. It's a combination of wanting and expecting and it's a signal to be good to yourself.
Feed your soul by honoring your body. We honor our body when we respect it. It feels like love. Notice what you sense with your eyes, ears, nose, mouth and heart. That's the beginning.
"April showers bring May flowers." Everything we do has a result. The result of being good to yourself by honoring your body is: liking the way you look and feel. Flowers of satisfaction bloom when we're true to ourselves.
Satisfaction connects with self-respect. You can't have one without the other. Eat for satisfaction. You will like the way you look and feel in the morning.
Intuition is about satisfying yourself. Dieting is about denying
yourself. When you satisfy yourself, you respect your body. When you
deny yourself, you ignore your body. Stop denying yourself
and find some love.
Love, Respect and Satisfaction are all intuitive. Think with your senses, feel with your mind and be true to yourself. Eat and dance to the music in your soul. Find love.
Here's Aretha Franklin singing R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
Respect yourself and recognize the love.
Everybody has intuition. Learning to sense it will slowly release stress from your eating routine and your life. You'll feel different because you'll look at Life differently. Notice what you sense. Your attitude towards values and yourself will change for the better. I know this from experience.

What are you craving now?
Cravings are personal. They hit emotionally and physically and can feel confusing. We're hungry for more than food. We feel:
- hunger for comfort
- craving for love
- passion to understand who we are
- thirst to protect ourselves and live well
Why not protect yourself by using your 6th sense - intuition - to know what you're really craving?
Your body and senses are designed to relieve stress by focusing on the present. This keeps you in control of choices. Here's how to do it:
- Notice what you see, smell, taste and hear. This puts you in touch with your body.
- Notice how your body feels.
- Your body tells you when it's tired and when it's hungry.
- Your heart tells you when you're frustrated or lonely.
- Although the clock may say dinner, your body may not be hungry. Don't enslave your body to a clock.
- You are not always hungry.
- Never force yourself to eat. When you feel full, you feel comfortable. Use your senses to notice what feels comforting.
- What you need to feel satisfied could be a good nights sleep, or you may need to call a good friend and vent, or just hear the sound of the voice of someone you miss.
Use your 6th sense to respond:
- Are you craving love or companionship? Do something social.
- Are you famished for sports or excitement? Watch a game or find someone to play with.
- When was the last time you ate a relaxed satisfying meal with a friend? Maybe sharing the pleasures of eating and communicating will bring you satisfaction.
Intuitive tools make it easy to recognize what you're craving and get it: without having stress. Your 6th sense always leads to what's good for you. What's good for you, feels good, and will satisfy that craving.

Use Spring Fever to Lose Weight
Spring is a time of enthusiasm and a time of new beginnings.
You feel Spring fever in your body. Use that feeling to change the way you eat.
You feel Spring fever in your body. Use that feeling to change the way you eat.
Begin to taste every meal, savor every bite in your mouth, share the enjoyment of it with others and stay connected with your body. Get sensual and lose weight with enjoyment, instead of diet-stress. De-stress means:
Don't Eat Simply To React. Eat Sensually and Slower.
Do Eat to Satisfy, Taste, Relax, get Energy and Satisfy yourSelf.
Stress is in your head. Digestion is in your body. When you're stressed it inhibits your body's abilities to get the most nourishment from what you eat. Stress impacts your ability to think clearly and it can release a hormone into your body telling it to hold on to fat!
De-stress and eat less. Forget diet dogma and tune into your body and your personal priorities. You know what feels good. If you want to lose weight, make a commitment to yourself to trust your body and be honest with yourself about what matters, before putting something into your mouth.
Feel Spring. Let the enthusiasm of new beginnings free you from old regrets and old self-defeating habits. Today is your day to begin the rest of your life. Do it with dignity and self-respect.
Use intuitive tools to get liberated from extra weight and old patterns that are so 'last year'.
See yourself in summer clothes looking happy, healthy and feeling fit. Feed that person! She's as real as you allow her to be. Go for it, it's Spring!
Nature is forgiving, it begins anew each year. Forgive yourself for bad decisions and shed them with your weight by eating intuitively. Spring fever is a time to feel light with joy!
Start now by smiling. There's a billboard in Texas that says: "If you see a man without a smile, give him yours." Do it and spread the fever.

The reason the new iPad is Sexy.
Have you seen it yet? It's sensual, a visual orgy. The new iPad will literally enhance your vision by stimulating your eyes. Anything that massages our senses, and doesn't tell us what to do at the same time, is sexy.
We are so used to media bombarding our senses and telling us what to do, that we absorb it emotionally and ignore it physically. The result is we experience a kind of intuitive shutdown.
The iPad gives us the opportunity to see intimately and draw our own conclusions. The allure is sensual. Using your senses connects you with your body and your intuition. Intuition is the 6th sense. Like our eyes, we take it for granted. It's not intellectual, it's physical. The new iPad is an opportunity to recognize your intuition. It's a feeling.
That's why the new iPad is sexy.
When you sit down to a meal, it should be a visual orgy. Why not look at food and draw your own conclusions? If it doesn't excite your senses, there's a reason. Something's out of focus; things aren't what they seem. Use your eyes, and see if you like what you're looking at.
Eating is intimate, personal and sensual. You should like what you're feeling. The goal of eating is to refresh your body, mind and soul. It's normal to feel intuitively drawn to your food. The body is your source of stamina and strength; the mind is your hard drive, and intuition opens a connection with your soul. Healthy eating includes feeding all three.
Why not get in focus when you eat and notice what you see? It's time to start thinking with your senses. It will relax your body and free your mind, and you can draw your own conclusions.
If you want to be an intuitive eater for bathing suit season, try eating intuitively every other day. Watch what happens. Buy 3 copies of Am I Really Hungry? for your friends and spread the word.

Morning After Binge
Recently, I've been asked about Intuitive Eating and binging:
- Why do I feel so hungry in the morning after an evening of non-stop eating? Shouldn't I feel full instead?
You feel hungry because the food you binged on was not what your body needed for nourishment. When you eat for emotional reasons because you're stressed, frustrated, angry or bored, it has nothing to do with nourishing your body. Imagine if you put the wrong gas in your car, even if you overflow the tank - it won't run.
- Why does my body feel so sluggish and bloated? What happens physically?
Physically, you've clogged your pipes. When we eat without noticing how our body feels, we abuse ourself. Because our body,s efficient, it works to sort through, digest and get rid of the evening's onslaught.
- Why does this affect my mood, outlook and self-esteem? I feel like I'm a failure, have no self worth, and that this negative downward spiral seems to be my destiny - a life of self-inflicted ups and downs - all caused by abusing food.
It's frustrating to feel out of control. Your mood, outlook and self-esteem are not the result of abusing food. Instead they are the result of abusing yourself. Your body is not an object, it's a very real connection with your heart and psyche. The first rule of intuitive eating is to protect yourself. It's part of your survival instinct.
Use the intuitive tool of patience to give yourself grace. When you're patient- instead of angry with yourself, you can understand what pushes your button and how to protect yourself against it the next time. Once you use patience, you will discover you feel more peaceful. Then use the intuitive tool of foresight for self-defense. Make a plan to protect yourself.
- Why do I want to punish myself by abusing my body and my heart?
- Why is so hard to regain control after several days of overeating?
Confusion caused by a chemical imbalance is hard to deal with. It's time to use tough love which is doing what is right instead of what is easiest. Read the chapter called Satisfaction to get intuitive ways to do this.
- How can I get back in touch with my intuition and break this cycle?
Listen to your body. Ultimately your body has a 'mind' of it's own and is clear about what feels satisfying and what foods make you physically at peace.

The Inner Game of Eating
- Our head is the hard drive where we store experience and where our values connect.
- Our gut feeling is the connection that protects us by staying clear about what we sense and long term priorities.
- Our body is the source of energy, health and pleasure. Naturally, we want to tune in to that!
Intuition is having an open mind and a flexible attitude. Sitting down to eat without a plan is having an open mind. This arms you with an awareness that you drives you to feel curious about choices. Part of the inner game of eating is realizing that there is always an option.
Having a flexible attitude gives perspective. For example, If I eat this whole pizza, will I like what it does to my body?, If I slam this sandwich down my throat without even tasting it, will I feel satisfied? The inner game of eating keeps us in charge of what we do.
- Perspective is how you know yourself.
- It allows you to get out of your own way to see where you're going. The inner game of eating includes checking in with your body with all 5 senses before you put food in your mouth. Doing that is your intuitive way of showing self-respect. Our senses give us an intimate reality check. What's real is not a plan or a number on a scale. What's real when it comes to the inner game is how you feel, what you sense and personal priorities.
Listening to your 6th sense teaches you about yourself. The better you know yourself, the easier it is to be good to yourself by maintaining eating self-control. It's surprisingly natural to get through the maze
of eating challenges and diet stress to discover satisfaction with yourself by
knowing the inner game of eating self-control. Intuitive tools include:
- curiosity: is noticing what you notice with your senses and your mind
- prudence: reminds that we always have options and the ability to choose what feels best
- foresight: is thinking about the results of our choices, first, so there are no regrets.
The inner game of eating connects with what we value long-term in our life. You can stay clear about what gives you satisfaction and away from what fills you with regret. It feels like common sense.
Self-control begins by recognizing what pushes our buttons. When we master this, self-control becomes a natural focus that empowers all of our choices. Download Am I Really Hungry? 6th sense diet: Intuitive Eating, and learn how to recognize what you really want. It's the natural way play the inner game.

Intuitive Magic
A gourmet who thinks of calories is like a tart who looks at her watch. ~George Bernard Shaw
Curiosity is intuitive. It's something you feel, not something you think. The more curious you are, the more satisfaction you will discover with yourself and in your world.
Working to live intuitively is going to change the way you eat and feel. Trusting your intuition is being true to yourself. It's respecting your body, listening to your heart and not letting your head be bulldozed into someone else's thinking pattern.
Eating is about pleasuring your body - not in a lewd or sexual way, but in a way that fills you with the excitement of living. A satisfied body feels vibrant and alive. Real satisfaction around eating is nearly sacred. That's why there are so many rituals around food and eating.
When you diet, you develop damaging rituals around eating. These lead to binging and purging. They create a mind-set of defeat. It's subtle until you realize you've gained 20 pounds or worse. Stop eating to fit in a mindset and start eating to fit in your own mind and body!
There is a simple ritual around eating that's intuitive magic. It opens your eyes and your heart. Doing it feels like common sense. The intuitive ritual around eating that I urge you to use is the ritual of Gratitude - before, during and after you eat. It will change everything.
Right now, stop looking at your watch and start looking at what you're doing. If you're offered a serving that's huge, there's no pleasure in packing food in as if you're a box to fill.
- Instead, savor the flavors.
- Take a deep breath between bites and allow your body the space it naturally needs to relax and let the digestive juices flow.
- Pamper your inner health so that you can depend on it later.
Intuitive magic is easy to tune into with a little bit of help! Download Am I Really Hungry? 6th sense diet: Intuitive Eating for helpful insights and practical tips that connect with feeling good about yourself and how you eat. When we connect with intuitive magic, every decision becomes easier.

Overeating hurts! Eating is supposed to feel good.
You go out with friends to feel good. If you focus on food at a party, instead of feeding your present physical, social or emotional hungers, it doesn't feel good. Overeating is a trap because it never feels good physically or emotionally.
To stay your healthy weight, remember that eating is supposed to feel good. It's personal, a direct response to your physical needs. It's intuitive to stay aware of how your body feels when you eat.
Is this you? :
To stay your healthy weight, remember that eating is supposed to feel good. It's personal, a direct response to your physical needs. It's intuitive to stay aware of how your body feels when you eat.
Is this you? :
- I eat fast and I eat a lot so I don't miss anything. This results from a habit of starving yourself as a form of control instead of realizing your body always tells you when you're hungry and when you're full.
- I stay by the buffet at a party because eating feels comforting. Overeating is never comforting to your body. Focusing mainly on food at a party is being dishonest with yourself because it leaves you feeling emotionally and socially starved.
- I go for 2nds and 3rds because I have high metabolism and everyone watches how much I can eat or
- I always talk about my diet at parties. It's emotionally twisted to use eating to get attention, and it backfires. No one admires a pig. Also, no one really enjoys being with someone who complains about their diet or their body, instead of joining the fun.
- Listen to your heart and tune in to your libido. Use all of your senses at a party to feel good while you're there and feel satisfied with yourself later.
- Eye contact with people opens doors that are gently exciting.
- Listening to conversation and adding your thoughts feels good because communication nourishes your heart.
- Really tasting your food slows down eating and is a way of experiencing pleasures that you notice with your mind.
- It's mutually satisfying to talk about pleasure. Be sensual. If the chocolate mousse is like a dream on your tongue, talk about it.
- Pause, look at who you're talking to and notice yourself. It's intuitive to be clear about where you are and what you're doing. You'll discover some amazing and amusing things, and you'll change your habits because you won't like everything you see. You know yourself best. Notice what you notice.

Intuitive Exercise
Use your intuition to overcome uncomfortable emotional urges.
- Emotions make you feel heavy. Emotion-driven situations can make you feel like you're drowning. Remember: emotions are not more important than your body, especially when it's about eating.
- Emotions make waves in our lives 24/7. It's the gamut of living. Your intuition keeps your head above the water, so you stay clear about your priorities while riding the waves.
- You can't satisfy emotional hunger with food. That's why bingeing doesn't work. Instead, you can use intuition to know what's going to help you.
1. Try this:
- Think of yourself when you're tense. Feel your body. Where are your shoulders? How does your neck feel? Where does your body hold tension? I hold mine in my stomach.
- How do you look when you feel comfortable and relaxed? What's on your mind? ... probably nothing :) How are your shoulders? How's your heart?... probably peaceful (*
When your shoulders are relaxed and your heart is comfortable,
it's automatic to be aware of your priorities and personal boundaries. It's intuitive
& healthiest for you to keep an emotional / physical / mental balance.
2. Look at yourself:
- When you're not really comfortable, it's automatic to lean forward just a little and this presses your heavy chest bone against your beating heart. Lift your sternum away from your heart. Notice the difference.
- Use inner strength to be courageous and to be patient. Identify with someone you admire who could do it : James Bond, Superman, Wonder Woman, Harry Potter, Mother Teresa, etc. You can use the strength you recognize intuitively.
- Use foresight to ask yourself : How does this choice feel? Tune in to your body. Where are your shoulders? How is your heart?
3. Let your eyes and body distract you from your emotions.
- Breathe firmly in and out and really see what's in front of you. Look at colors and shapes. Notice what you notice.
- Breathe firmly in and out. Turn around and see what's behind you. Notice color details.
- Now your posture is alert, refreshed and re-focused. You're in sync with your intuition. It's pretty amazing, isn't it.
When life hits frustrating emotional walls, use your 6
senses to stay clear about what you want. You will be in control of
eating choices and look great.
- It's so easy, anyone can do it.

Let go and lose weight.
"It's all right letting yourself go as long as you can let yourself back." -- Mick Jagger
The food-filled holidays are over. Still, at a party last night women and men
confided in me that they had "let themselves go" between Thanksgiving
and the new year. They felt burdened. It makes no sense to
focus on what you ate last year.
The old emotionally manipulative 20th century diet mentality is to humiliate yourself with regrets and beat yourself up with recriminations. It's wrong. It boomerangs and makes you hold on to guilt, anger and fat!
Instead, give yourself space to come back to your best interests. Intuitive eating is tuning-in to the present. Use your 5 senses to recognize messages from your body and your 6th sense
(intuition) and eat in response to physical hunger, your values,
priorities and personal boundaries.
Feeling badly about what you ate a month ago adds extra weight on your body. It makes you literally feel heavy! Put it down. Let go of it.
Time is passing, be guided by your moments. Stay in the now and lighten up literally and psychologically! Feel good because you're committed to being true to your body and yourself. Enjoy your next meal because it's the beginning of living your dream.
Let yourself lose weight by letting go of regrets and guilt trips. Then, keep in step with today, eat less, chew more and use common sense. The pounds will come off.
This is January. Eat to protect your health from seasonal colds and flu and have
energy for the best quality of life. You'll get some satisfaction.

Pleasure makes losing weight possible.
Albert Einstein famously said, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." If you're trying to lose weight with a traditional diet, re-read that quote. 95% of people who diet gain back more weight than they lose! Try using your intuition to lose weight instead.
