I haven’t dedicated a post to Intuitive eating (IE) lately because I’ve been trying to just live it and over thinking it definitely makes it harder sometimes.
The other day I realized I couldn’t remember the last time I had binged. Don’t get me wrong – mindless eating and overeating happens, but binging not so much. I’m very happy about that.

Since I have made great progress, but am not totally there yet I decided to review the 10 Principles of IE to see where I am:
1. reject the diet Mentality – Done and done ? this one was easy as I didn’t want to go on another diet for anything!
2. honor Your Hunger – Check. I eat when I’m hungry. Rocket science? Not so much. eating when I’m NOT hungry – that’s another story…
3. Make peace with Food – I’m an animal loving, sunflower wearing, PETA fearing California hippie so I was all for giving peace a chance. now if the drug cartels south of the border would just follow my lead…
4. challenge the Food police – I have a long history of challenging authority so this one was easy. My mom’s favorite story about me is when I was three years old I told the babysitter, “My mom is in charge, but when she’s not here I am.” and don’t you forget it.
5. respect your Fullness – Ding ding ding! We have a winner loser.
6. discover your satisfaction factor – another bump in the road.
7. honor your feelings Without Food – Damn, three principles I haven’t mastered?
8. respect Your Body – this one is getting better and that’s all I can do.
9. exercise – I don’t know if you noticed the title of my blog and all, but I run.
10. honor Your health – I eat enough produce to feed a family of four. I think I’m okay on this one. might need to up the organic stuff and watch the handfuls of graham crackers though.
Right now I live the first four principles of Intuitive eating okay. but I am not fully an intuitive eater yet as I have not mastered numbers five, six and seven. These are the numbers that I think are standing in the way of me and my natural weight.
So, for the next few weeks I’m going to try and be more mindful of stopping when I am getting full, being present with my food and not eating when I’m angry, lonely or tired (HALT).
Lunch was a new find from MOM’s – sweet Potato soup. I was hoping it was like the fantastic butternut squash soup I had at a hotel in CA, but nope. It was kind of bland.
I paired it with some broccoli for a green and gold lunch ?
“Green, Gold Let’s hear it! I say catch the spirit!”
What? Did I take that too far? (Please ignore the poorly centered picture)
I also ate a bag of veggie crisps because lunch was lame without ‘em.
Why the heck does almond milk and soy milk curdle in coffee?
Better question: Why, despite the fact that I know it curdles, do I continue to put it in my coffee???
