Eating When Full

I could speak for hours on this topic of eating when full. It is the fundamental aspect of eating to be healed. 

I have called my work 'Healing the Eating Habit' and it is true that the habits of eating we develop for a variety of reasons, determine whether we are fat or slim. 

Our eating habits certainly contribute to good health or bad health. 

To a greater or lesser extent the health of the kidneys, heart, pancreas, skin and mind are determined by the type and amount of foods we eat. So not only is our weight affected by our food intake but also our overall health. 

We all know what foods are 'good foods' and what foods are 'bad foods.' We all know when we are over eating. So why is it so hard to stop when full and consume the 'right' foods and beverages?

Enter emotions into the equation and you have your answer!

Unresolved emotional issues to be exact!

We have our clues now - Eating when full is linked to emotional issues. The compulsive eater eats to suppress how she is feeling emotionally. The suppression of emotion as a means of coping with emotion, is dysfunctional. So how to stop when full, and stop suppressing how we feel? Resolve, resolve, resolve! Resolve those emotional issues rather than stuff them down with food when full.

How do we do that? Well, I point you toward the link to my  Am I Hungry? Download  from my web site. And this download will start you on your way out of the labyrinth of compulsive eating and excess weight.

Back it up with regular consultations with myself Sofia Bothwell and you will be learning how to drop the eating when full and allow your slim-self to emerge and stay.

Integration

There is something about having healed a situation or trauma that empowers you.  Maybe you suffered from some abuse for example, a tone of voice or a manner that a parent had that triggers you to this day. If your spouse or a shop assistant or friend even, displays this same behaviour it can be very upsetting for you if you have not healed that original culprit. You may drink or overeat to numb the issue and carry on allowing that person to behave that way, you carry on being around that person never calling out that behaviour that may be rude or abusive to whatever degree. Either way you are  stuck in that situation with that person until you heal the original culprit, the parental behaviour that was your first experience or wounding of that kind.  So through giving up eating when full, drink etc and allowing yourself to be fully aware of how that behaviour makes you feel, if you feel it is abusive or rude or overstepping boundaries and even you may be dismissive of it a...

Awareness of the pattern

To give up any addiction successfully you do not have to abstain from the object of your addiction. In other words the first step in giving up any addiction (contrary to popular belief) is not about abstaining from the food when full, the drink or drugs, gambling etc.  The first step in to be AWARE of your pattern of behaviour.  That means you become aware of when the craving kicks in, and you become aware of your thoughts drifting towards indulging in the object of your addiction. You reach out for the glass of wine. You catch yourself arranging to have that cheesecake even though you are physically full. You reach for the cigarette or vape. This awareness then needs to be extended as it were, you need to be aware of how you are doing emotionally at that specific time the craving kicks in. In this awareness of how you feel emotionally comes the  ability to actually find an alternative means of coping with that emotional dilemma other than just suppressing / numbing it wi...

London

 At the end of another London trip I look back at the memories, sights, experiences and teachings with relish: Form the train to Richmond I see a large fox sitting on the sloping embankment staring towards the trains and I think of the ability to adapt to one's surroundings. The wild fox adapting to city life and thriving, after all, it really takes something to be able to live in London rent free. This tame landscape, moulded and shaped by human hand throughout the centuries. Beautiful iconic statues, fountains and buildings on lay lines of great power. Harrods, Fortnam and Mason etc. The lovely Indian family on the bus to Crouch End. The father answering his daughter's questions with kindness and genuine interest. The mother beaming with love for her child. My heart expanded witnessing such parental love. Again they adapted to being parents and devoting time and energy to their offspring. In contrast I moved train carriages when a father on the tube was trying to control his ...
