How to reset gut after overeating?

Ugh, overeating. We’ve all been there, right? That feeling of absolute blah after you’ve just devoured, well, everything. I swear, sometimes I feel like a beached whale. So, what’s a person to do? Lie there and wallow in self-pity? Tempting, I know. But honestly, the absolute BEST thing I’ve found – and believe me, I’ve tried a few – is to just move.

It doesn’t have to be anything crazy. I’m not talking marathon training here. A quick walk around the block, maybe? Or even just putting on some music and having a silly dance party in my living room. Seriously! Remember that time I ate an entire pizza by myself (don’t judge!) and then ended up doing the Macarena for like, twenty minutes? I felt so much better afterward! It’s like my digestive system just needed a little… encouragement. A nudge in the right direction. You know?

It’s weird, but even just a little bit of movement seems to wake everything up. “Okay,” my body seems to say, “let’s get this party started… the digestion party, that is!” Plus, – and this is a big one – that little hit of endorphins? It works wonders. It’s like a magic reset button for my mood. Suddenly, I don’t feel quite so awful about that extra slice (or three) of cake. It makes it easier to think, “Okay, tomorrow’s a new day. I can get back on track.” It’s all about progress, not perfection, am I right?
