39. Making it.

Day 3 of mindful eating training

I will chew my food slowly, concentrating on taste and texture. I will pay attention to the crunchiness, creaminess, and flavor of what I am eating.

-- the effects -- 

We went to a diner for dinner. I ordered my usual, a turkey dinner, thinking I will eat half. As I ate I thought of the statement above.  The mashed potatoes became too buttery and the green beans were not crunchy enough.  I craved a different type of food. I was satisfied with a lot less than half of my portion and I look forward to a nice berry salad for breakfast and green salad for lunch tomorrow. We'll see about dinner. ;)  
To craving health.
