Menu Plan Monday: Not on a Diet

Posted: 08 Jan 2012 06:52 PM PST

If you put “Go on a diet” or something similar on your New Year’s Resolution list this year (and who didn’t?), I invite you to join me this year as I focus on Eating Intentionally. Based on the concept of Intuitive Eating, “Eating Intentionally” means changing your mindset about food into a healthy one that benefits your whole self. I’m so excited to get started on this journey, and I’d love your company! 

This month in Eating Intentionally, we’re focusing on “ditching the diet mentality”. In other words, no dieting. No counting calories. No measuring portions. No chastising ourselves for eating too much junk. None of it. Just enjoying our food, that’s it.

How’s it going for you? This concept isn’t actually that difficult for me. I’ve never really been much of a dieter, and the only time in my life when I seriously tried to lose weight was between my two pregnancies. I’ve never gone on a real honest-to-goodness diet, but I have tried dieting tricks like portion control and calorie counting.

One thing that’s hard for me not to do is the weight gain/loss tracking. I’ve always been kind of compulsive about stepping on the scale every morning to measure the fluctuation. Silly of me, really. I still do that occasionally, and I’m not sure if I’ll ever stop. What I’m trying to stop – and I don’t know if it’s possible as long as I’m still stepping on the scale – is the resulting judgment that comes from seeing what I weigh. “Oh, yikes. Better not eat quite so much today.” Or, occasionally, “Pretty good. I can eat whatever I want, my weight is holding steady.” Clearly, I don’t want to be overweight to the point where it’s just not healthy. But I think as we go along and get further into the principles of intuitive eating, I will develop new habits mindsets that will prevent me from over-indulging and gaining excessive weight.

In My Kitchen Today

This week, I’m not going to get much done in the kitchen because I will be taking my Certain Little Someone to a very lengthy (hopefully) doctor’s appointment, where we will be testing his system with some beef to see if he reacts or not! Hoping and praying there no reaction, but that is going to take all afternoon to prove!
