Feed Your True Hunger

JUST FOR TODAY:  Try "re-parenting" yourself, where you experience some of your best memories once again.

When you were young, what experiences were some of your favorites?  What types of activities did you enjoy?  What did you do for fun?  If you could relive your childhood, would you include all of these experiences?  What would you do less of?  More of?  Consider the experience you would create for yourself.  Are there some elements that really stand out?  Maybe you loved going to the zoo, or playing games, or riding your bike.  You can give this to your Self now!  "Re-parent" yourself by doing some of the things you have always loved.  Is there something you always wanted to do, but didn't have the opportunity to do?  Perhaps you wanted to take an art class, or a dance class, or a music class.  You can give this to your Self now!  "Re-parent" yourself by creating new opportunities.  When your life is filled with experiences that are fulfilling, you will have no need for excess food.  Feed your true hunger!
