"Never eat anything you don't enjoy, and truly enjoy everything you eat."

I’ve been working on mindful eating for several days now. I thought others might have eating healthier as a New Year’s Resolution, so I am sharing this short checklist I came across from eatingmindfully.com. It is really helping me with my accountability.

Am I sitting?

Eating fast or slow?

Mindlessly munching or noticing each bite?

Asking “How hungry am I on a scale from 1 to 10”?

Multi-tasking or truly focused on the meal?

Rumbling stomach or, bored, stressed, anxious, etc?

This week mindful eating will be a priority for me, so each evening I will reflect on these questions and post on my blog how I did. Does anyone want to join me?
Today's successes:   

• I was sitting for each meal and did not multi-task! 
• I slowed down when eating. I tend to eat very fast, so for me it seemed slow. But there's still room for improvement. 
• No mindless munching today. Yay! This one is a struggle for me! 
• I only ate three meals today. No snacking.
