This month’s focus in “Eating Intentionally“* is on “Respecting Your Fullness“, which means exactly what it sounds like it means. One aspect of this means resisting the urge to clean your plate. (If you really must clean your plate, then put less on it to begin with.) Instead of using the clean plate as a cue that your meal is over, pay attention to what your tummy is telling you! How are you doing with respecting your fullness?

*My concept of “Eating Intentionally”, and the 10 principles we are working through this year, come from the book “Intuitive Eating” by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch. I highly recommend it – I don’t agree with everything in it, but it is a great read for anybody who has ever been on a diet and/or is considering going on a diet.
