Six days and counting. That Thanksgiving turkey will soon be exiting the oven door.
What are you thinking about as this food-focused day nears?
Is it the turkey? The stuffing? The pies?
Whatever it is, I think you should eat whatever you “truly” want.
Do you “truly” want three helpings of stuffing with gravy? Do you “truly” want a slice each of chocolate, apple, pumpkin and lemon pies?
If you think you “truly” want these, maybe you do. But before answering the question, why not check in with your body first.
Ask your body this question: “How will this delicious food FEEL inside my body if I eat too much of it?” Close your eyes and really imagine how this food will feel inside your body. Where will you feel it? How long will you feel it? Would it be a comfortable feeling? How will it affect your energy level?
These are all questions I want to ask myself next Thursday as my table is COVERED with many of my favorite foods. I’ll definitely have a taste of everything I “truly” want.
“Truly” is of course the operative word here. Because I also “truly” want to feel comfortable by “truly” eating what feels good inside.
Hope your taste buds and your body find this Thanksgiving truly enjoyable!!
