Re: Ate something that didn't taste really good

[Guest guest]

Good insight though, good lesson.  Sometimes we do learn the hard way and I will benefit from your experience.  Thanks. Sandy

 

Today I ate something for breakfast that didn't really taste good. I

didn't know the food, never had it before (and will never have it again,

lol).

I noticed that it didn't taste that good after the first two bites. I

ate it up anyway.

I wonder why.

Then I noticed that I wanted to experiment with the feeling of having

eaten calories without them being " delicious " . I started beating myself

up that I " wasted calories " on something I didn't really wanted to eat.

It shows me that " calorie thinking " is still way too ingrained in my

head and that food is so much more than fuel for me. Now wish me luck

that I can stop the beating up.

Best wishes

Excellent connection Styxia. And your being aware of this is a good place to

start from for changing away from this behavior too. Perhaps you can work on " I

ate it up anyway. " That should be some very telling answers?

Best to you, Katcha

Styxia (nice name!)

About the beating up part, pretend it was one of us. I'm sure you wouldn't judge

and would proceed with compassion. Try it with your own sweet self
