Enough is enough

Remember when you were a kid and you'd pushed your luck about as far is it could go and just before the shouting would start, your mum would say "That's enough now"!

She said it, "That's enough" and you knew that the reason she said it was because you knew what enough meant. It was the point you could go to and still be safe, still be OK, still get back from with ease. Enough.

If you ever get invited to someones house and have a meal with them, they'll probably say at some time in the course of the meal, "Have you had enough"? This is the point where (even if you're still starving hungry...) you say, "Oh yes thanks" because you've been bought up to be polite!

Truthfully, that's only the half of it. Most of the time someone, (it could even be your mum,) is pushing food at you and telling you to eat up; they've been slaving over at hot stove and you should eat and be grateful, other people aren't as fortunate as you!

So where does that leave you, especially if you're heavier than you want to be?

It leaves you in charge. It leaves you being the one who decides what is 'enough'.

You are now the voice in your head that says "What I have eaten is good, it's a safe amount, it's not so much that if I keep on at this rate it'll be more difficult for me to be the size I want to be in the future".

Be able to say "Thank you, I've had enough". Say it to yourself. Know what is enough for you and be confident in your decision.

We don't need huge amounts of anything in life, we just need enough.
