A year ago I decided to change my outlook on food and generally on eating. I also had enough of being overweight. It all began when I decided to eat plant-based meals for over 21 days. You know the diet Beyoncé did? It turns out it was a great way to kick-start a new healthy way of eating and finally lose the weight I had put on over the years but it wasn't actually from following this diet... Some of the meals were delicious and easy enough to prepare. The not-so-nice bits were the after-effects of certain foods… I became aware of what I was able to digest.
So, I decided to apply sophrology awareness to all food & beverages I was consuming. In the last year I lost 40 pounds... I have not joined any gym. I am not a sporty person and would never go out and walk in this Arizona heat!
So how did I do it? Mindful eating. Want to know the best part? I am enjoying food much more than I have in the last 10 years! I can eat everything! Yeah I realize I sound like one of those commercials that i would scoff at. But I was in a situation that I had to slow everything down and so my eating became very focused mindfulness moments.
If I can do this, believe me you will too. Instead of wanting to want it – I actually did it. I listened to my own body. For the first time I didn’t follow any fad diet. I followed my gut. Pun intended.
