DAY # 18

OBSERVATIONS.

CHALLENGE BREAKDOWN

Today I will utilize all the mindful eating habits I’ve learned  so far and observe any change between yesterday’s UN-mindful eating and today’s MINDFUL EATING.  

Yesterday I ate my favorite breakfast meal of this amazing locally-made plant based yogurt (my dairy-intolerant belly loves it) with mango, pomegranate, shredded coconut flakes and bee pollen, unmindfully while responding to email.  The first bite was delicious but then I was distracted checking email and working.  I was mindfully UN-mindful and just couldn’t eat unmindfully.  It was physically and mentally difficult because it was painfully evident that I was missing the opportunity of nourishing my body with some of my favorite foods and it really made me sad.  So I moved to the table because I HATED missing the opportunity of tasting and thoroughly enjoying my loaded yogurt bowl.  When you can start to identify a difference between unmindful and mindful eating, it really becomes a no-brainer.  You don’t want to go back to the mindLESS eating because you really miss out, especially when it’s something delicious that you looking forward to.  

I know after 2+ weeks of cultivating mindful eating skills you are leaps and bounds further along than when we started 18 days ago!  Keep moving forward cultivating a healthier relationship with yourself and food… it’s one of the most worthwhile habits to focus on!
