What is Small & Considered?

Not a restriction — a choice. Eating slowly, tasting fully, stopping when satisfied. A regulated relationship with food rather than a reactive one.

When you might feel small & considered

Small & Considered is a specific form of mindful portions, which itself is a type of nourished. You might experience this feeling in situations where nourished is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define small & considered.
