The Naturally Slender Eating Strategy

1. First something makes me think of food. This might be seeing that it is time for lunch, hearing someone mention lunch, feeling hunger, or seeing food. 2. I check how my stomach feels now. 3. I ask myself “What would feel good in my stomach?” 4. I visualize a possible portion of food: A sandwich, a bowl of soup, a dinner salad etc. 5. I imagine eating this food. I think of the taste of the food, and then feel the food slipping into my stomach, and get a feeling of how this amount of this food will feel in my stomach over time if I eat now. 6. If I like this feeling better than how I will feel if I eat no food at all, I keep this food item as one possibility. If not, I discard it. 7. Next I visualize another type of food I might eat. 8. I imagine tasting this second item, and feel how it feels as it goes into my stomach, and stays in my system for some hours to come. 9. I notice how I like this feeling. Do I like it more than my best choice so far? I keep in mind the food item that makes me feel best, to compare to my next choice. 10. Now repeat steps 7, 8 and 9 as often as I want to, always keeping in mind the kind of food that you imagine would make you feel the best over time if you eat it. Compare each new possibility to that. 11. When you are satisfied that you have considered enough options, eat the food you imagined would make you feel the best over time, so that you will get to feel that good.
