Practicing mindful eating: I will eat for at least ______ minutes per meal. (Based on studies, it takes 20 minutes for your brain to detect that you are eating and already full.) I will eat at the _________, without any distractions. (Eating while watching television, surfing the internet, studying and doing paper works will not give you a feeling of fullness and will make you eat more) I will chew my food at least _______ times before I swallow it. (At least 7 chews is recommended to really savor the flavor of the food, however, you are not a robot so just opt to put down your eating utensils and swallow first before you put another spoonful of food in your mouth) I will record my actual food intake every _____. (Keeping a record of your actual food intake makes you aware of the not so diet-friendly foods you actually consume. Make it a habit to keep a record and convince yourself to be better each day) | ||

Since I learned the pleasure of eating I will continue to develop these mindful eating habits.... to eat for at least 20 minutes per meal; eat at the dining table and turn off the TV, chew the food well and eat slowly and update my food journal every night before going to bed or if not, in the morning of the following day. Additionally, keep moving, exercise and be productive each day. Thanks to BAD. :D :D
