Sophie's Challenges

The why: So, I can take control over this part of my life. Wolfing down my food has been a challenge for me all my life and I notice my stomach bloats after I do it. Once I see this in action, and the benefits, and this new discipline I want to achieve, I would then share it with people.

The Who: I want to feel healthy because I know it will be worth it,

The Who: I want to feel healthy because I know it will be worth it,

William, the who part is very weak... Who are you going to be? A wannabe? Or someone who is doing it because it's worth it.

The Who: I am going to be Healthy because I know it will be worth it.

Yesterday I believe I did well and only dropped the ball a few times with the drinking.

Today, I was surprised at myself when I was eating. I seem to want to, and able to, keep my attention on the food, I put into my mouth and then focusing on chewing it, for 40 times or more, with my attention on what I was doing. Eating slowly was always a challenge for me.

The bad side of today was the liquid. I struggled with this big time failing so many times.

In the end, I had to drink out of a bottle, so I could control the amount I was letting enter my mouth each time.

I expected it the other way around. So today I kept kicking myself in the ass, as I messed up.

first off: never beat yourself up, or in your case kick yourself.

This is a learning process. I am still learning after eight or nine days...

Today I had a good day with my chewing my food. I believe I was 99% there.

Today was a major struggle with the liquid and I kept forgetting and before I knew it, it was in my throat.

I thought the liquid was going to be the easy part.

I believe I had a little shift in my attitude today, but I need to check it tomorrow to see if it was a once-off.

so what was the attitude that you decided on?

Today I took a step backwards.

I was a little bit behind in time, so to make up the time, I had my lunch as I was driving home and after I put the first bite of my lunch in my mouth. I may have chewed it four times and I swallowed half of the food that was in my mouth. It was not as bad as before I started this project, but it was still bad especially since I was doing so well with my food. I saw what I was doing, and I stopped. I then went to drink, and I did the same. My first day was easier than this. So, all the work I did went out the window in one moment. Lesson learned, don’t eat and drink, when you drive.


The shift that I felt yesterday in my attitude was when I thought about the true back. We spoke about this more than a week ago, where I find it boring.
Well, my attitude has shifted on this as I can’t wait to do it now. This is something I need to do.

I believe the attitude that showed up for me under my radar was. I Am Going To Do This Because I Know It Will Be Worth It.

The Possibility:

The possibility of completing this project, I am doing, will contribute to having a stronger attitude, feeling more alive inside and moving towards a more expanded human being with vibrant health.

your share is a proof that only failures teach us anything.

Good work William.

Opportunity

I believe with this training I can experience enjoying my food and really tasting it, possibly for the first time. The First Time.
So I am committed to carrying on with this type of mindful eating style as in such a short space of time, I can see my stomach toning up. I can feel my stomach muscles much more over the last few days.

Also experiencing a healthy body, removing all the aches and pains I find myself experiencing.
I don’t think I have ever enjoyed my food as I just ate it as quickly as possible. It is what I have always done.
This is also an opportunity to have a disciplined mind without so much hard work in achieving it.

My attitude in many areas has also changed and I am questioning some other areas.

What’s it worth to me?

Considering having a healthy body, especially in the areas of my back and legs. Also having all of the above, That would be priceless.

I see your point. Thank you for putting it into words. I am proud of you William
