Healthy Eating Tips
- Eat slowly, stopping between bites
- Eat small frequent meals
- Stop eating before you feel full--remember it takes 15
minutes for your stomach to tell your mind
that you are full
- Don't feel pressure to finish everything on your plate
- Do not skip meals-this leads to
overeating later in the day
- Make healthy food choices 80% of the time
- Don't deny yourself food you like, this may
lead to bingeing. Moderation Is the key
"LOST HOPE "
By: Sue Dumais, 1993
The deep seeded feelings bottled up Inside.
Trapped In a lifestyle Compelled to Hide.
Time that won't Heal the Abuse, the Regrets.
In Time it gets Worse, Self-Respect to Build Yet.
The Weight of the Emotions I must Endure.
The Weight of the Pressure I know there's a Cure.
The Lack of Respect I Hold for Myself.
I know there's a Problem but I can't Accept Help.
I Need to be Strong but I have No Control.
My Body is Weak; the Abuse Takes a Toll.
I Need some Time to Think things through.
To Figure out just what to Do.
Every Bite I Feel such Guilt. I step on the Scale, I See it Tilt.
I'd Never Wish it on any Friend. If only I could see the end.
I've tried my best to work things out, but in myself I have too much doubt.
Anorexia Is fact of life, food is a source I sacrifice.
If you or someone you know is suffering from an eating disorder please contact me and I can direct you to help!
