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.
