10 Days to London


I am getting more and more excited :)
Yesterday I booked our 'Afternoon Tea'. I didn't get the place I wanted, apparently you have to book the really fancy ones month in advance, but the one I found is just of Covent Garden and as we will order 'a la carte' we can pick & choose to our hearts content :)

I think I might have found a solution for my snacking. I kept on reading about mindful eating. And at long last I have ordered the book : eat what you love, love what you eat. Its been an eye-opener.
I don't know what it is, but it seems like a weight dropped of my shoulders. Not to feel guilty when you slip up, but simply to be in charge of yourself. I have never been a fan of any sort of diet, although I have tried many of them.
I am relearning to eat instinctively, to recognize hunger & when I am full, to eat slowly and actually enjoy what I eat. Its such a revelation. To realise how often I ate because I was bored, because it was time, because it was there or I was offered it, is mind boggling.
I am learning a lot by stopping & listening to my body. There is no right or wrong anymore. I could go on, but I am not even half way through the book.

I haven't read that particular book but I have done some extensive reading on the conscious eating concept. There are lots of different authors out there who give their own slant on the subject. It really is a way of life as opposed to a diet but it is deceptively difficult. It does require just as much attention as any other plan but the big deal for me is not having to measure and weigh and count. I'm not surprised that you have to book the fancy afternoon teas months in advance. My hubby and I have been dying to try a highly rated restaurant in Chicago but, every time we have tried to book a reservation in the past, there were never any available times for when we were going to be in town. So this year, not knowing for sure the date of the Christmas party we go there to attend, I have booked two dates so I have all the bases covered. I will cancel the one that doesn't align with the date when I find out when the party is. Anyway, enough rambling. Have a great day of mindful eating :)
