…and it is not Sidney Poitier.
How would it feel to actually bring your body as a guest to the dinner table?
Remember, as you practice recognizing your body’s unique expression in the area of eating it then becomes sustainable, fun, and enjoyable. This is because the Body Knowledge System® is a practice, not a program, and fits into your lifestyle.
Quite successfully, a client described for me how her eating habits with her body has become less emotional eating by actually bringing her body to the table.
Her
words,’ I treated my ‘body guest’ to a BBQ Saturday and I gave her some potato chips with my hamburger and did not give her the hamburger bun. We (my body and me) became creative together by using lettuce and slices of tomatoes to sandwich the hamburger with.’
Because, let’s me honest, if I came to your house for the weekend and I made it really clear what foods were important for me and my body, wouldn’t you graciously make sure you had those certain food’s that I needed for my nourishment in your kitchen? Of course you would…so the happy ending is to think of your body as your guest which happily makes it easier to give your body the nourishment she needs. This is win-win practice.
And if we are continuing to be honest, then we realize we can’t deprive ourselves from all our favorite foods. You can find ways to compromise within limits to stay healthy and continue on the path of well-being.
So, send an invitation to your ‘body guest’ and enjoy your next meal together.
