From Shortmama:
Ok so this week I want to know how you plan to avoid overeating or junk eating now that the kids are on summer break?
Lets see, do I have a plan? No. Okay my plan? if I knew what it was? I would say? – Oh I got it.

In Oprah’s e-mail newsletter, she had a test to see what kind of weight management program would suit a person the best.
*
I took the test, and….
*
It suggested I would be best suited to a spirit based program.
*
If you’re wondering what that is, I was too.
*
There was a link for one and as I read about it, I relaxed. There was another also, which I didn’t read.

It seemed to me to be saying that our bodies are magnificently able to let us know when they need nutrients, e.g. craving and when we are full. The premise seemed to be if we focus on listening to what our body is telling us, we will be ahead.
*
This reminded me of a study I read many years ago. In it children were fed from a cafeteria line and were free to choose whatever food they wanted. The researchers discovered; IF an appetite was not seduced by sweets and junk food, the child ended up selecting a balanced diet.
*
My plan is to avoid the junk and pay more attention to my body’s signals.
