The Curious Case of the Second Slice 🍕
Today, we’re not just talking about mindful eating, we’re taking the scenic route, slipping through a hidden garden gate and into a world where food choices feel like a gentle adventure. Here, there’s no calorie counting, no food guilt, no endless “shoulds”, only the quiet magic of listening to yourself.
Picture it: a long wooden table set beneath branches strung with twinkling fairy lights. A teapot hums softly, ready to pour your favorite brew. The plates before you hold only what your body truly craves, and the chatter around you is warm, never hurried. This is not a place for rushing or second-guessing, this is a place for noticing.
In Week 32, we find ourselves in a Wonderland of mealtime influences, a place where the actions of those around us can nudge our own without us even realizing it. Maybe a friend takes a second slice of cake, and suddenly, your fork hovers mid-air, considering a choice you hadn’t planned. Here, we pause. We remember: you hold the fork, you choose the bite. And with that little spark of awareness, you reclaim your mealtime power.
In Week 33, we follow the path to a rose-filled garden where every blossom seems to whisper a gentle reminder: Wait a moment. Feel your hunger. Listen to your thoughts. You learn that sometimes hunger comes from your belly, but other times, it rises from boredom, habit, or even the longing for comfort. This is where you decide: does my body want this? Or is my mind simply seeking a distraction?
Through it all, we keep the Kim Shapira Method close, those six simple and trusty rules like a compass in your pocket. They’re there when you need to navigate a crowded feast, when the dessert tray passes by, or when a stressful day tempts you into the pantry. They remind you of the truth: this is medicine. Every mindful bite is a dose of the life you want.
So, dear traveler, here is your invitation: step through the looking glass. Let curiosity lead you. Let your body be the guide. The journey ahead is yours to savor - and your story is still being written, one delicious, intentional choice at a time.
With magic and mindfulness,
Kim ❤️
