Guest guest Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I am reading A Course In Weight Loss by nne on (do not be fooled by the title, it really is an IE book!). She has an exercise where you buy one new plate, bowl, glass, knife, fork and spoon as well as a new napkin and place mat and candlestick holders and candles. And the idea, or at least what I get out of it, is to redevelop a love affair with food. She has you set up an alter which you put these pretty new things on until we are ready to incorporate them into our new relationship with food. What you wrote made me think of this chapter in her book. I couldn't justify buying just one new of each of these. And all of my dishes are hand me downs or from garage sales or from when I was married. I've never, ever choosen my own dishes. So I bought a set of new glasses, and an entire new set of dishes and utensils. I have them set up on my alter. And my place setting is so beautiful. And I had such a good time shopping and picking out my new dishes. And I really do feel this is changing something in my psyche. I'm not sure I can explain it, but I seem to be more thoughtful in my eating and in what I choose to eat. > Also I bought > several very pretty cheap plates, $1 each. A while back in my diet mode I > ad read how eating off a small plate and a blue one could help reduce > intake.
