Food for Thought:  Feed the Body, Feed the Mind

Have you heard the phrase “mindless eating”?  That unthinking, repetitive motion that keeps carrying bites or handfuls of food to your mouth while you sit at your computer, watching television, at a sports event?  That “how-did-this-happen” thought at the “end-of-the-container” moment?

You may not have been hungry, you may still not feel full, but the food kept moving from container to mouth with no more conscious effort on your part than blinking.

Mindless eating.  Overeating without realizing it.  The opposite of intuitive eating, basically relying on gut instincts to counter mindless overeating.  

Take a few seconds to think about what is going into your mouth.  Does it nourish you?  Could it make you ill in the long run?  Do you need it?  Are you really hungry?  One or two better choices daily can make such a difference! 

Don’t be mindless, be intuitive.  Pamper Your Mind is here to help.
