Instant Gratification

Change that lasts takes time. We're taught to expect instant gratification. Diets promise we'll lose 5-10 lbs a week and be an ideal body in a month. The truth is, it won't happen. Losing 5-10 lbs by starving yourself now will boomerang and end up around your middle in July.  Aren't you tired of losing and gaining weight?
 
Don't buy into media hype about instant gratification. Since your body is a natural system, it requires time to process change. Only slow progress endures because you're organic.  Trusting organic change means using determination and trusting your senses. 

Because we're conditioned to "trust" instant gratification, there's a disconnect from our truth. Instead of responding to conditioning use your 6 senses to stay in the present. The truth is there is no such thing as instant gratification when it comes to long-term physical changes.   

You can trust your body.
It's always focused on healing and creating energy.
Your body is more efficient than the most advanced super-computer. 

When you use all 6 senses at mealtime, physical needs and healthy food boundaries become obvious. Real nourishment is only achieved when you're in sync with yourself. Make a commitment to yourself and use determination to connect with messages from your body at mealtime. Go for real gratification.

Don't buy into diet hype about the need to eat what you don't want when you're not hungry because of a scale or a clock or a book. You have the answers and they are very personal, custom tailored what your body needs. Your body is amazing, alive and constantly evolving. 

Use your senses to know your body. Eat intuitively by using the 10 tools. You will learn to recognize when you're hungry and when you're not. That's instant gratification.
