The Inner Sweet Tooth

[Cali Cutler | PWN]

Nobody does well on refined sugar and processed sugar substitutes like high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, aspartame, sucralose, and splenda. Of course there is a physical, chemical addiction that your body has when it is addicted to sweets or processed carbohydrates, BUT… and that’s a big BUT, most people turn to sweets, or any food when they are not hungry for that matter, when they feel a lack in their lives. A feeling on not-enough. Geneen Roth said something that changed my life, “We don’t want hot fudge sundaes as much as we want our LIVES to be hot fudge sundaes.”

Take a moment to explore what you’re really wanting. Many times I just want to feel like I’m getting a break, or I really want a nice cool glass of water, or go in the sunshine for a moment and stretch, and cuddle my puppy, to feel loved. That is the kind of sweetness that is real, it is lasting, it really hits my inner “sweet tooth.” Because we want our lives to be sweet. We don’t want a whole pack of Oreos and then to feel gross after we are done. That’s not having a sweet life, that’s escaping your body and using food to bridge the gap.

Overeating is a sign that you are not recognizing what, right now, of which you have enough. Hunger is natural. Satisfaction is natural. Overeating is stemmed from pain and avoidance. Overeating is rooted in filling a void that you don’t want to address because maybe it’s too scary, too painful, and it’s better to numb yourself with food than to confront it.

That emptiness, that not-enoughness, immediately disappears the moment you come back to your body and start noticing what you DO have. Your focus upon lack is suddenly replaced with a focus upon all the things in your life that you are grateful for. When you allow yourself to be in your body, to feel your fingers against the keyboard, the light coming from the computer screen, the thirst on your tongue, the weight of your hair, your skin against the cool air, you come back to the present. You come back to being here in your physical body. You find that you’re actually ok. That your body is actually doing thousands of different chemical exchanges and sensations that are actually doing what they’re supposed to. Your body works. Your eyes work. You tune into the miracle of your body, you allow yourself to actually be here, instead of escaping with your food of choice.

In my magical and mind-blowing coaching program, we explore the ways that you really want your life to be sweet. About the ways you escape from food, about how you act out your feelings of feeling ashamed, or abandoned, or nervous, or sad, by choosing sweets or overeating or medicating yourself through food. There’s a whole universe between “I want that piece of cake” to licking your fingers with the last bite. That universe is the access point to your true nature. Come play!
