A Thought About Compulsive Eating, from Your Stomach

Our bodies are always giving us signals.  We just have to pay attention.

Piece Talks...

You know those times when you eat something that you know you "shouldn't" eat but you do anyway, most of the time without thinking, and you always feel terrible after eating it?

Well, here's something you might try next time you catch yourself about to eat compulsively...

Stop for a second, and ask me how I feel about eating what you're about to eat. One of the best ways to "ask" is by imagining how I'll feel after you've eaten it. I'll generally answer through feeling, which at first may be subtle and/or clouded over by what your mind and habits want, but over time, my answer will become more and more clear.

I'm always telling you how I feel, even when you aren't listening :-)
Love,
your stomach
