Lifelong chronic dieters have told me how their weight, food, diets and binges filled up their life so much that they feel devoid of other activities, people, hobbies and interests. By developing mindful eating habits, you will find that food returns to it’s proper place in your life, freeing you up for more of what the world has to offer. If you feel as if you’ve missed out on life because of your preoccupation with diets and food, take heart. That is all about to change. Here’s a list of six life areas. Identify one action you can take in each and get started. Even if you just spend a few minutes a day focused on these actions, you will make progress. And most importantly, enjoy the process.
- Family
- Friends
- Career
- Hobbies
- Spiritual or Religious
- Community
