I’m going to a family gathering where I’d normally overeat and overindulge, so I’ve created the following IM. Am sharing here, then will report back how it goes!

C: Gathering tonight. T: Tonight I will practice being my word and follow my plan, no matter what. F: Intentional. A: I eat only what planned (1 slice of pizza, veggies, and salad), slowly; I drink club soda with lime; I eat only until satisfied; I allow my urges; I notice my unintentional thoughts with no judgment and with compassion and curiosity. R: I’m my word to myself.
