Eating real food: September 2007 Archives
Repeat after me (it's easy): Hershey's Kiss. Did I say Hershey's Kisses? No I didn't. Say it again.
Hershey's Kiss.
Just one. Is it hard to speak about one Hershey's Kiss?
Anyone reading this blog probably knows what it means to think in all or nothing terms when it comes to weight loss. This "all or nothing thinking" is also referred to as "black and white thinking."
You've probably had seasons in your life when you ate no Hershey's Kisses, and you also avoided any other kind of food that you considered to be evil.
You may also have had times in your life when you ate the whole bag.
It's not entirely your fault. The diet industry seems to contribute to this all or nothing, diet or binge, kind of thinking.
But to become a normal eater, in which you learn to sense your hunger and fullness, and discover the joy of small portions of real, delicious food, then you'll need to think in terms of:
One Hershey's Kiss
Okay, maybe two.
Don't trust yourself? That's not a reason not to learn normal eating. Instead, it's a reason to undo some distorted thinking.
