so you want to eat. okay, great! not a problem. but first, did you…
✧ brush your teeth?
✧ floss?
✧ brush your hair?
✧ shower?
✧ make your bed?
✧ drink water?
✧ take your meds/vitamins?
✧ stretch?
you did? awesome! good job. wait, did you consider…
✧ shaving?
✧ applying lotion?
✧ trimming your nails?
✧ doing a face mask?
✧ deep conditioning your hair?
✧ painting your nails?
✧ plucking your eyebrows?
✧ exfoliating your body?
don’t wanna do any of those? that’s fine, they aren’t necessary. but have you made sure to do the necessary stuff first? do you still have to…
✧ do homework?
✧ do laundry?
✧ wash dishes?
✧ clean your room?
✧ run errands?
✧ take out the trash?
✧ respond to emails?
all done? you’re so productive!! awesome!! but are you sure you wouldn’t rather…
✧ read a book
✧ color or draw
✧ organize something
✧ go on a walk
✧ listen to music or make playlists
✧ journal
✧ make a collage
✧ deep clean your room
✧ gather stuff you don’t want anymore and donate it/plan a garage sale
✧ watch a new movie or series
✧ make twitter threads
✧ window shop (irl or online)
✧ research a fun topic
✧ practice new makeup styles
✧ work out
✧ take a nap
✧ play a video game
✧ talk with someone on the phone
✧ listen to a podcast
none of those sound interesting? i understand, they’re not for everyone. well, if you’re gonna eat, at least…
✧ choose something healthy / low cal high volume (fruit, veg, air popped popcorn, egg whites, etc)
✧ drink lots of water before, during, and after
✧ take small bites and chew thoroughly
✧ eat without distractions (including tv!)
✧ really focus on how the food tastes and feels, taking your time
you chose this as your main activity to do, so at least be mindful! taking your time and paying attention to pacing really helps you understand how much you’re consuming. this helps you eat less, feel fuller faster, and prevent that binge.
