Four Types of Eating

Four Types of Eating

In my program which I developed through my training in the Life Coach School, there are four types of eating:
Fog Eating,
Storm Eating,
Fuel Eating, and
Joy Eating

FUEL EATING is when we re eating food that provides our body with high-quality fuel to perform. It is a decision we consciously make to put fuel in our bodies that will give us energy and nourishment to perform physically.  Most Fuel Eating requires planning and thinking ahead.  You want to Fuel Eat 90% of the time.  Fuel Eating is done  according to where you are on your hunger scale.  

JOY EATING is when we eat anything we love to eat and actually taste it.  Paying careful attention to eating ideally accompanies joy eating - try savoring and slowly chewing to really get the full enjoyment from your food.  You want to Joy Eat 10% of the time.  This could be one small treat each day or two joy meals per week.  The rule with joy eating is that you must enjoy and pay attention to EACH AND EVERY BITE.

FOG EATING is when your eat without awareness.  You are munching on chips without even tasting them, you are picking at your kids' dinner while you talk to them, you have a bag of candy and the next thing you know you have eaten the whole bag and you don't even remember what it tasted like.  Fog Eating is not enjoyable or purposeful; it is an unconscious munch that we aren't even aware we are doing.  Try to never Fog Eat.  Stop the minute you catch yourself eating behind your own back.  

STORM EATING is binge eating or out of control eating.  It is anytime you can't stop yourself.  You are aware you are eating, you want to stop, you feel as if you cannot stop and cannot control your own impulses.  Sometimes this happens when we let ourselves get too hungry and we are starving or it happens when we have an overwhelming emotion we don't want to feel. Storm Eating is usually followed by regret and shame.  Many times Storm Eating is done in private and in hiding. Many tools in my program, Shifting Inside Out,  will help you eliminate all Storm Eating from your life.

If you have been struggling with your weight and you want to get more out of your Devotional Time,  WHY NOT GET THE SUPPORT YOU NEED?

I'm getting ready to launch my next 10 -Week Program:

It is just in time to get you through the Holidays and set you up to have 2019 be your best year yet! 

The combination of online Modules, Facebook support group, Live Team Coaching calls and One-on-One Coaching makes this program complete.

The One Thing You Need to Know...

The One Thing You Need to Know...  What is it?  What is the one thing you need to know in order to achieve your goals? If your goal is to lose weight, is the one thing you need to know, a diet , powder or pill? If your goal is to manage your time, is the one thing you need to know, the best planner? If your goal is to exercise, is the one thing you need to know, the best workout? If your goal is to have more self confidence, is the one thing you need to know, the best mantras? Would you believe me if I told you that the one thing you need to know for accomplishing   any goal does not come from outside of you?  It comes from within.  One day, I was hosting a group call with my coaching clients, and I asked the question, "What is the one thing you need to know in order to continue in the wellness steps we have been practicing?" I listened to the answers from the group and then they asked me the one thing I needed to know. My ...

Are You Okay With It Taking Time?

Are You Okay With It Taking Time?  Every change we make, every accomplishment we achieve takes a certain amount of time.   We could even agree that the greatest accomplishments take more time.   But when it comes to losing weight, we want it to be fast.  This messes with our mind, our emotions and our commitment. I want you to think about when you enrolled in college.  You decided on a field of study and a degree you set out to earn and graduate.   Or, you can think about High School.  You set out to graduate.   When you signed up, you expected that it would take a number of days you would need to continue taking action.  You made a plan, followed through and repeated.....Over and over and over.   When you were a sophomore, did you say to yourself, "I haven't graduated yet I think I'll quit?" In the 6th month of your Senior year did you throw up your hands and stop completing the requ...

The New Normal

The New Normal How do we decide what normal eating is? Who decides?  Is it us or is it culture? Is it my thoughts, or society's thoughts? What is the association we are creating with our thoughts about food being part of our life events? Do we really need pizza and beer to make watching football more enjoyable?  Do we need to have sugary treats to celebrate the Holidays? I personally, had to spend time questioning my involvement in spreading this confusion during family gatherings. One of the qualities I wanted to be known for was to be a good cook.  I had to decide what I thought a "good cook" meant to me.  Was it to bake foods that were loaded with mind altering substances? Or, could I decide that preparing food that was actually higher on the nutritional scale is of more value? Hmm, what an interesting question.  What is my new normal? Another question I asked myself is, "How am I going to feel after I eat those mind-altering foods?  W...
