Today I am tracking my hunger using the Satisfaction Meter explained in Deepak Chopra’s book ‘Perfect Weight.’
I purchased this book a month ago and feel like now is a good time to start utilizing its tools. The concept of the Satisfaction Meter is to “Eat whenever you’re hungry, but when you’re not hungry, don’t eat.
This seems like an easy enough task but over the next two weeks, it may just be the most challenging and revealing experience of my life. I record my hunger levels ranging from 0-8, Full or Empty. Ideally, I should eat between level 0-1 and stop at 6. Never reaching 7-8, Full or Empty. Tis way you are at a peaceful state at all times.
One sentence in this book really stands out to me. “Your ideal weight should be a self-referring, worthwhile, attainable goal.”
These words are so strong and meaningful for me. To be self-referring in a society where objects and unrealistic ideals are prevalent. To choose a weight where you believe you look and feel the best. I am happy to say that it changed my perspective. Instead of setting the unattainable, object-referral weight goal of 135, I am going with 145. This weight is where I was a few months ago when on a fad diet. I felt happy, pretty and energetic. This is where I want to be again :) it is well within my healthy weight for my height and I’ve been that weight recently…unlike 135 (which I weighed Freshman year of high school).
So as I proceed over the next two weeks, I will keep this in mind. This journey to my ideal weight is not driven by the outside world or peoples perspectives of me….this journey is for ME.
Peace and Love. -

Yoga Moves For a Pick-Me-Up
Move 1 (top left): Start in a pushup position, lift your hips, and move into downwardfacing dog. Take five breaths. Raise your right heel toward the ceiling as high as you can, then slowly lower your left forearm to the floor. Keep both palms flat on the floor.
Move 2 (top right): Straighten your left arm and put your right foot between your hands. Shift your weight onto your right foot as you raise your left leg. At the same time, raise your torso until it is parallel to the floor and reach your arms forward.
