3 days in
Well, 3 days that I felt I’ve improved my eating which is always a hard thing for me. Still feel I can do better but, not beating myself up. Went to a birthday party yesterday and did eat everything, just much, much less on my plate. still probably could’ve lessened the cake & ice cream portion of the program some but, an improvement overall. At home, eating a bit healthier and trying for the small plate portions and chewing much slower. Trying to enjoy my food a bit more. I remember once being in with a counselor and he wad reading Thich Nhat Hanh’s book, Anger, and he said how he talked about being mindful & chewing each bite 50 times. I though he was full of shit, then, angry, went and bought the book for myself so, here I am chewing, chewing, chewing=). 50 x’s still a bit excessive for me but, leason learned. Hope you all survived the 4th of BBQ’s and goodies just as well.
p.s. I haven’t added exercise as I’ve been sick since before I started and debated putting off signing up. Glad I didn’t wait for one more thing to be just right. Never is.
