Re: Physical ingestion of food...

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I've always been a fast eater & it is really hard to unlearn this but I am

working on it slowly. Trying to ENJOY every bite when I remember. Why is that so

hard?

trying to eat mindfully as a part of these processes that my actual ingestion of

food has an exaggerated, almost aggressive component...as if the food is being

taken away from me while I eat, so my chewing and consuming are rapid and

messy....this was very disturbing to notice, especially as I was hoping to feel

more " calm " with the " mindful " , non-distracted eating.

It's hard for me, too. I know that deprivation makes it worse and literally has

me shoveling food in while I can get it. But even without that, I still do it.

It's a well ingrained habit. Even in grade school, I was ALWAYS the first one

done eating. Don't know why, just always was. Most of the time, I still am. I

still have to work on that one, as well.
