One night my wife and I were having guests over for dinner. I had previously found out that one of their favorite desserts was ice cream. I have this amazing recipe for a custard ice cream that is basically egg yolks, sugar, cream and vanilla, which I made. I also made homemade strawberry syrup with fresh strawberries. After dinner I served the ice cream and syrup. The ice cream is so good that both my guests ate half a bowl before realizing the amazing strawberry syrup that went with it. Lets just say that my guests were very impressed.
The next day as I was getting ready for dinner, I thought that ice cream sounded pretty darn good. So much so that I pulled out the remaining homemade ice cream. There was about two or three scoops remaining. I grabbed a spoon and started eating. Wouldn’t you know it but I finished off that delicious ice cream. Then I asked myself what my body needed. I felt that I needed a little protein. I ate some cashews and that was it. I was full. That was it for the night. Probably not the best nutrition wise, but those were all the calories I needed for the rest of the night. Because I had a substantial breakfast that morning, I was good. I did not over eat and being that I ate early in the evening my body had time to process the ice cream before I retired for the night.
What I learned is that my core really had reset. I did not need to keep eating just for the sake of eating. My spirit will gave me the answer I needed as I asked and listened for the answer.
