Hunger only exists in the present moment. The extra scoop of ice cream I had for desert last night and the handful of cashews I mindlessly ate when I wasn't really hungry, exist in the past.
I have spent many hours creating drama around food and making myself feel bad by dwelling on the past. The judgment and critical self-talk can reach epic proportions, sending me into a tailspin of self loathing. DIEting magnifies the drama because every crumb that passes my lips gets dissected and examined under a microscope.
As I practice staying present and listening to my body's wisdom in each moment, I am becoming less concerned about what I ate two hours or two days ago. Each moment presents a new opportunity to tune in, listen and choose to honor my body with exactly what it needs and desires in each moment. These desires, fluid and ever changing, are an important piece of my life journey. These desires connect me with the infinite abundance of life itself!
Goddess says, "Open yourself to the voice of your desires in each moment."
