: beautiful thread

Love this question

: for me it is an easy answer. What
: keeps me being entirely happy with
: what I am eating and how I am
: feeling? is perhaps a good way for
: me to think on it. Because I get
: to eat my favourite foods all the
: time ! No deprivation.

: first of all its being connected with
: how I am feeling right now,
: instead of skipping over it and
: looking to the next thing. Steps
: taught me that one

: it is also powerful for me being very
: aware of what happens when my food
: isn't right. I don't want that
: feeling again. Admittedly my
: serotonin is a strongish leg I
: think, which makes it a lot easier
: to stay in touch with that, so I
: can simply look away and not be
: interested., to utilise that
: choice I have

: then * trumpets and drums* I do love
: my journal........ I have learnt
: that sugar makes us forget. I know
: I am affected by certain
: behaviours/circumstances . I am
: very aware of all that having
: tested it all thoroughly just to
: see Journal is like a
: beautiful early warning system. It
: is reliably there like an ultimate
: security blanket.

: for instance, I recently did some
: travel involving a 3 am start, and
: somewhat erratic and unknown meals
: to tackle. Tiring journey, very
: busy outcome. But because of past
: experiences getting everything
: rather wrong for me ( no
: experience ever wasted !) I now
: have a set of strategies that keep
: everything charming as possible.
: Everything got written in my
: travel journal and I was able to
: sail through. Ten, twelve years
: ago I didn't have those skills,
: and thought I would never gain
: them either ! but I did, and still
: love the learning
