I made it one of my goals in the Freedom Challenge and I did it for a while.... <br /><br />I would say definitely one of the reasons I'm always "hungry". I barely remember eating a meal because I'm not focusing on it. How weird is that?<br /><br />Thanks for the reminder, PB. This is something we can do better at.

But if I could do this even <i>once</i> a day, I believe it would make an interesting difference. I share meals with my husband, and we like to talk, and sometimes my only reading time is when I eat, but I've been paying more attention to what I'm eating and how I'm eating it because you have got me thinking about mindful eating. I used to do something like that in the past, paying attention to my foods, carefully tasting and slowly and carefully chewing each bite, but I didn't keep going with it -- I just got distracted and forgot. So, lunchtime tomorrow I have an appointment with myself to eat a slow, quiet, <i>mindful</i> meal, and see what happens.Lois2037https://www.blogger.com/profile/04776736493772592187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2071839274179654926.post-87124623615653807992010-08-06T09:38:10.788-07:002010-08-06T09:38:10.788-07:00You're aware, and you're making progress. ...You're aware, and you're making progress. That's something right there.<br />For meals with friends or family, I've learned to savor both the food AND the fellowship. To me, it doesn't work to NOT consider and appreciate both. As for multi-tasking when eating alone, I'll probably always do that, too, but I do take a moment or five of gratitude and savoring before I pick up my book or dissolve into people-watching. Ususally. :)Cammy@TippyToeDiethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00547787031318303521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2071839274179654926.post-13435626128082629152010-08-06T05:20:31.106-07:002010-08-06T05:20:31.106-07:00I am just imagining the beautiful words you can us...I am just imagining the beautiful words you can use to describe all you mindfully eaten meals:) I am such an action-oriented person that I would very much struggle with this.Karen@WaistingTimehttp://www.waistingtimeblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2071839274179654926.post-89458503654206020092010-08-06T04:08:37.815-07:002010-08-06T04:08:37.815-07:00I love this idea - that you are making into a real...I love this idea - that you are making into a reality!<br />I want to eat like that. <br />If we all took time for contemplation, we probably wouldn't touch half the junk we eat now.Anne Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10435482289459434828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2071839274179654926.post-32495403869775142272010-08-05T21:15:35.206-07:002010-08-05T21:15:35.206-07:00You made mindful eating sound so wonderful!

Then, for me anyway, I find I've eaten too much and didn't even enjoy it! Congratulations on day 33!robin michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11512210501809058988noreply@blogger.com
