Eating Mindfully

The weekend makes us reminds us to do things which we can’t do on weekdays. Like sleeping an hour or two extra, visit our favourite place, cook our favourite dish, spend time with family and friends, watch our favourite movie, chilling.

When we go out we hardly see any outlet selling healthy food. After my weight loss journey completed. I am now well aware of food healthy or unhealthy and portion size to eat. Still when after completing weight loss journey we do so many mistakes because when we are under expert guidance we don’t go for unhealthy food.  We have a target or goal in mind but when that goal is achieved, then what? I am sure people who have done weight loss in their lives will agree with me.

When we have to maintain a certain weight it’s the most difficult thing. Last year in December I suffered from Patellofemoral pain syndrome, still under recovery. This makes me gain weight, due to lack of excercise and calorie burn. I felt very disappointed, keeping in touch with my coach. Now I have decided to eat mindfully and if I can’t excercise for weight loss, then what? I will focus on eating healthy again.

Now I am doing recovery excercises for knee and eating healthy. I can’t think of weightloss. My daily activities are at halt. Slowly and gradually I will gain my health back doing all my daily activities normally and only after that will think for weightloss again. I have to accept that healing will take time ⏲️.

Sometimes we come across such incidents in life that we can’t do much about it but to wait and watch. Watch ourselves to grow, to heal fully and be Strong 💪.

At this time one thing will save me and that is mindful eating. Now I know the value of balanced diet.

Eating mindfully is nothing but to eat a balanced diet. When we are dependant upon others then we have to eat according to their wish. I have made some rules to follow, so that me and my family eat less of unhealthy or junk and more veggies and fruits (healthy food).

  1. Have junk or unhealthy food in moderation(once in 15 days).
  2. When we visit any place make sure we search for healthy option first if it is not available nearby, then go for unhealthy ones.
  3. Be well hydrated.
  4. Take a fruit with us if we can. Fruit is the only healthy fast food.
  5. Less ordering food from online food delivery apps.
  6. Walk for 30 min daily.

Stay healthy, stay happy, stay safe.
