Workshop Numero Dos!

Mar 08, 2010

Yesterdays workshop we went over our results from the quiz we took the week before...
my weak areas in Eating Patterns are: Mindless Muncher & Hearty Portioner.
in Exercise Patterns: Hate-to-Move Strugger & Self-Conscious Hider.
and in Coping Patterns: Low-Self-Esteem Sufferer & Can't-Say-No Pleaser.
So for week 3 we have to do a presentation about our Diet Personality (the quiz results) and how we are going to change things for the better inorder to do well after our surgeries! We are reading about our issues in Dr. Kushners Personality Type Diet, and it gives us tips and ideas on how to change your lifestyle!
We also went over Mindful eating and Managin head hunger...
I know i am not a mindful eater, i do not take my time and enjoy my food which makes me eat more than i should because i just scarf it down. that is definetly something i need to work on... s l o w i n g   i t   d o w n. . . .
Head hunger is pretty much realizing if you are an emotional eater.. so we went through a worksheet on emotions and if we eat when were feeling them. My yes' were: Boredum, Upset, Self-Pity, Irritable, and Hurt. Ways to not cope with these emtions other than eating for me are: talking to friends, taking a walk, playing with Xyander, scrapbooking, listening to music, going shopping, taking a nap, lighting some candles and relaxings.
So next week we are going over our presentations, which should be simple enough! :D
