Alternatives to Eating all in the name of feeling good!

“Why are you reading so much?”

Homeboy asked me

Trying to practice what I preach

I’m trying not to eat so much

“Oh?”

Yeah

I enjoy reading

Almost as much as I enjoy eating

I’m not hungry but want to treat myself

So instead of eating I’m reading

“Ohhhh”

“Nice “

“How is it going so far?”

Well, It wasn’t easy at first… but I’m really enjoying it.

Still like eating but I also have alternatives.

Same thing in conversations with my clients … aka patients

What’s the next best thing?

You know… that thing you can do to reward yourself after a long day or as part of your self care

One that is independent of food or drinks

I’m practicing … so I can relate better with my clients!

You know

Because it’s easier said and done when practiced.

In health,
