I listen to my body's cues for hunger, fullness, and satisfaction
The affirmation "I listen to my body's cues for hunger, fullness, and satisfaction" is a powerful tool for improving your relationship with food. By tuning in to your body's signals, you can learn to eat intuitively and make choices that nourish both your body and your mind.
When you listen to your body's cues for hunger, you become more aware of when you need to eat and what you need to eat. Instead of relying on external cues like the time of day or social pressure, you learn to trust your own body's wisdom. This can help you avoid overeating or undereating, and can lead to a more balanced and satisfying relationship with food.
Similarly, when you listen to your body's cues for fullness, you can learn to stop eating when you're satisfied rather than when you're stuffed. This can help you avoid discomfort and digestive issues, and can also help you maintain a healthy weight. By paying attention to how your body feels as you eat, you can learn to recognize when you've had enough and when you need to stop.
