EATING Part 1

 

EATING

In this blog i am looking at eating - why i eat food to stimulate my taste buds, what my choice of food affects my relationship with my kids, my mistakes and my commitments to correct myself

Forgiving Myself

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself - as a parent, to control my kids and other people  by feeding them food that is pleasurable for their taste buds 

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to copy what my mom did in terms of feeding us - because  i did not care enough to look at what eating is all about

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to believe that the taste buds can decide for me - on what to eat and what not to eat  - not realizing that i am responsible for what i put in my mouth, other people's mouth and my children's mouth

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to not realize that whatever i put in my mouth will affect the body 

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to not care about the body and what food i put in my mouth 

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to believe that it is difficult to change my eating habits  

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to believe that a particular food is good for me only when it tastes good - when i like it

I forgive myself that i have not accepted and allowed myself to confront my incorrect beliefs in food based on my likes and dislikes

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to justify why i eat what i eat based on what i like 

Commitments

When and as i see myself controlling my kids, as a parent and others  - by feeding them food that is pleasurable for their taste buds, i stop - I breathe. 

I realize that this is a fear response that goes according to what i like

I commit myself to be aware of the balance that i require  in my body and train my tastebuds to eat those that will benefit my body

I commit myself to investigate where the food that i like to eat come from and learn more about them 

I commit myself to see how my body will comply to what food is best for it
