The more I practice being conscience and squashing the ego, I am more and more aware of how the ego effects us as humans in relation to eating disorders. People tend to eat without even thinking and in reality they are only filling the egos need for more and more. It rarely has anything to do with being hungry or for the bodies need for energy. The ego deceives us in to believing we are hungry, but really that could be replaced with any number of things, i.e. alcohol, drugs, exercise, sex, any number of addictions, just to satisfy the need for more, trying to cover up what is really lacking, our spirit, our being.
I find even though I haven't been loosing in the past few weeks, I can honestly say I haven't been trying as I just needed a break from it, however I have been aware of what I eat, how much I eat, but mostly I am establishing a relationship with the food that I eat at that present time. Really tasting it, chewing it properly and being aware of what my body is telling me as to when it's enough. To my own amazement, it takes very little, and I push away from the table soon, yet I am enjoying my food much more and really appreciating the variety nature has provided. I am grateful for every bite. I rarely find myself hungry anymore. That is wonderful.
This has moved into all other aspects of my life. I have started writing down each day at least five things that I am grateful for and the results have been amazing as well. There is truly something to be said for thanking the universe (God or whatever you wish to call it) for what is provided every day. When we actually become aware and show a conscience act of being here now and being grateful, wonderful things start to happen and effortlessly.
Life is wonderful.
