Intuitive Eating During The Holidays

JUST FOR TODAY:  Be intuitive about your food choices when surrounded by cookies (and more) in your office and at Holiday parties.  Choose only your favorites, in moderate portions!  

Cheesecake and poundcake and fruitcake, oh my!  It can be challenging to be surrounded by so much food during the Holidays.  Be an intuitive eater, and check in with yourself before you eat.  Are you hungry?  What would satisfy your hunger?  Is that specific food available at the party you're attending?  If not, what can you substitute to satisfy you?  Perhaps you are not hungry, but you see the food that's available and now you want some.  Can you pause to identify what will satisfy your desire?  Whether you need to eat or just want to eat, be specific.  Scan your options, and choose only the type and amount of food to truly satisfy you.
