This Goose has flown the coop!

Sorry for the delay in posting. This Goose needed a bit of a break!!! I needed to go throw myself into the fun of life and so I flew the coop! 

Here's a questions, how much do you think about food? 

Years ago when I was on the Standard American Diet and determined to loose weight I felt I had to constantly tell myself, "I'm on a diet I can't eat that I can't eat that I can't eat that." But I have to say, that kind of thinking just makes you obsess more and think more about food and triggers the food cravings. 

These days I prefer to think about eating as little as possible. There are a ton of foods I love that are incredibly healthy that I can eat. When I'm hungry and it's time to eat, I enjoy them fully. When it's not time to eat or when I'm satiated, I fly the coop, I get away from the TV, get away from the restaurants, get away from advertisements of food that make me crave the food regardless of hunger or not, and I get away from the stashes of food. I let it go, I get out and just enjoy all that life has to offer. Anything and everything as long as it has nothing to do with food. Dancing, Producing, Singing, Karaoke, Reading, Party Planning, Arts and Crafts, Hiking in the woods, Kayaking, Camping, Meditating, Yoga, Traveling, Playing with Friends…. So much to do so little time! We are truly blessed to have so many wonderful fun things to do with ourselves in our life. While food is a big pleasure in life, there's so much more joy to life than food alone. And if I get out and start enjoying my life, chances are I won't even think about food. My body mind and spirit are full. I'm craving less unless I REALLY am hungry. Then I eat, just enough, slowly & fully enjoy, let go of it, move on, rinse and repeat. And it works for me. 

I would love to hear what works for you and your findings? But since this post is actually about doing something that has nothing to do with food, lets forget all about it and instead feel free to share an interesting or hilarious story this week about anything at all as long as it has absolutely nothing to do with food.

I have a ton of interesting stories I'm dying to share but I think this post is already too long.  You all must be blogged out at this point! : ) So I will post later this week. Until soon my juicy goosey readers! 

HONK HONK! 

Love,

The Goose
