Re: Standing up and Eating

Yes, I definitely notice that sitting down makes a difference. I eat slower, which for me means I enjoy the food much more and I'm able to tell when I've had enough. I'm really working on eating my food with awareness - tasting, smelling, enjoying it, etc. Eating standing up or on the run makes it nearly impossible for me to do this.

Was wondering if any of you struggle with standing up and eating while in the kitchen before dinner and have found that waiting till you sit down can really make a difference?

Yes! I definitely noticed this. I eat on the run a lot. I have found

that eating while doing other activities completely distracts me from

the act of eating.

So I have been trying to remind myself to eat when I can focus on the

act of eating... For me this usually means waiting a couple minutes

after getting a meal to sit down and eat it.
