POST 15

Today I am thinking about how much easier life would be, if only I can continue to trust my relationship to food.

And I imagine that if I truly trusted my body and felt safe eating what I want, when I want, I would feel strong, and secure in myself. 

I wouldn't look outside of myself for answers in regards to diets and excersize. I would decide what my body wants and needs by looking inside myself.

I got to thinking about this the other day when I pulled out the Body and Soul section of the Sunday Telegraph.  One article that really caught my eye featured interviews with people who had lost weight.  It was titled, "What I ate to lose weight".

In the past, I would have been pouring over that article, trying to get a heads up on my own weight issues.  But this day in particular, I found it sad and unnecessary.

I'm wondering, isn't there a much easier way to maintain a healthy weight that is appropriate for me? 

I have spend so much time and energy reading articles, and looking for that one food to eat, or not eat, that will allow me to remain at my ideal weight.  But I'm now feeling that I can give myself the answers simply by eating what I want, when I want it.

After all, what is right for Joe Blow, may not be right for me.  I am honouring my body and my own uniqueness. 

I trust that I have the answers inside me!
