Slow Down
Covid-19 has taught us many things. One of those things for many of us, is that slowing down helps us appreciate and enjoy life on a deeper than we otherwise would.
This is true with the food we eat too.
Many of us eat so quickly we hardly notice whether or not we even enjoy what we’re eating – let alone whether or not our we’re actually hungry as we eat it.
When eating quickly, we tend to eat everything on our plate whether or not our body wants or needs it all. We get so stuck in this pattern that we learn to believe that whatever’s there is the ideal portion size for us. It becomes our norm – even if we’re often actually over eating to uncomfortable levels. That discomfort becomes a negligible, normal part of our daily lives. So much so, we hardly even recognize it as discomfort anymore.
