Hey Everyone,
Let me give
you the holiday gift of the hunger number tool. It may just be the least
fattening gift you get all holiday season (I have already received a few boxes
of Sees Nuts and Chews—AND I AM A WEIGHT RELEASE COACH!)
The holiday
season is a time when we go to parties and events and often our eyes are bigger
than our stomachs. When we go through
the holidays the added stimulus of people, music and holiday cheer (or lack
thereof) often tune us out to our shut off valve of when we have had enough.
Especially nowadays when serving sizes are so
large and disproportionate to our body’s true need for calories it is going to
serve you to be able to distinguish hunger from other feelings and to be able
to stop when you have had enough—otherwise the tendency for the scale to creep
up over the next few weeks will sneak in.
HUNGER NUMBERS
The hunger
number scale goes from 0-10 zero is starving—stomach growling maybe even light
headed—very empty—and 10 is thanksgiving (or holiday season) stuffed full.
Take a
moment now to tune into your stomach.
Put your hand on your stomach and take a Shift breath. On a scale from one to ten where are you?
NEED TO RESHIFT?? January 24th
Re-Shifting Weight Mastery Process-runs in tandem with the Shift—same exciting
synergy—but a more advanced process.
Come and get your mojo back after the holidays and continue releasing
pounds masterfully. Limited to 10 participants.
Contact me asap for more info.
As I
mentioned zero is starving. 1 is hungry and need to eat now 2 is hungry –1-2 is
the best time to begin eating.
3-4 is
satisfied—and very light—this means the hunger feelings have disappeared and
you are lightly satisfied.
5-6 is satisfied but not full—6 is usually where you
want to stop eating. This is where
naturally thin people stop eating.
THIN FRIENDS
I
have a friend who is naturally slender—I see her push the plate away and do
this sort of little magical wave over her food—it means she is done and she
doesn’t touch the food again. It is sort
of her own personal shut off valve. What
can be your shut off valve?'
Now 7-8 that
feels a little uncomfortable—that is definitely full.
9-10 is discomfort
full the kind of full where you eat everything and then have to unfasten your
pants and go lay down full—it’s the kind of full where you groan—I can’t
believe I ate the whole thing—I know you know that feeling—I certainly do—but I
also know that I never want to feel that full again—how about you? So use your hunger numbers as you are
eating.

THINK AHEAD AND PROTECT YOUR ZERO
We eat up to 50% more food when we are with others so tune in to your
stomach and prepare to finish at that 5-6.
If you take
anything from the hunger number tools take this—protect your zero. What does that mean?? Many people who struggle
with weight will wait until they are at zero to eat—they either try to not eat
early on and then end up too hungry and eat too much or they get too busy and
don’t think about food until it’s too late.
Both ways work against you as when we reach a zero once you do start
eating it is very hard to stop eating. This happens a lot at holiday events. People starve themselves before a party and
then eat far too much.
So Protect your 0!—Never get too hungry—a huge
part of weight management is blood sugar management—if you keep yourself fed
with steady blood sugar levels throughout the day—you rarely get hungry. This is an essential tool is keeping your calories
within your daily budget easily and effortlessly.
So never get to zero-plan ahead—bring some
quality protein and or fiber based snacks with you. Keep a bag of apple in your car. Think of how you can protect your zero before
heading into that holiday party.
Protecting
my zero is so important that I will eat a bit before going out to eat—this way
if it takes a long time to be seated or be served I am not ravenous when I
order and therefore order too much—and then eat too much. Eating ahead also allows me to sit with the
bread or chips basket and have some power over it—often the main reason people
overeat bread or chips is they are simply too hungry. Do yourself a favor—protect your zero at all
times. And have yourself a merry little portion this holiday season!!
Have a happy holiday week and keep shifting! Oxox Rita
