What is your biggest mindful eating challenge?
What questions do you have about mindful eating?

I am intrigued. Since I’m traveling the first full half of the month, I’m hoping to just not eat ice cream every day… and skip bread in restaurants. Then again, maybe while traveling is the perfect time to truly pay attention to what I need.
Oh yes! I think to really sit with the food we desire, notice its textures, its sweetness, how it smells, how we feel before and after eating… wow what an experience to savor!
Looks like a great challenge! I have a problem eating slowly. I inhale my food, but I have been working on slowing down.
Me too! I need to remember to put down my fork and breathe! And just appreciate what I have!
My biggest challenge is eating without distractions or multitasking. This challenge sounds fun!

Mine too!
I think my biggest challenge in eating mindfully is TIME. Much of the time, I need to eat quickly or I will not eat at all. I laugh at myself because I find myself eating meals quickly and while standing up even when I don’t need to, just because I’m so used to it right now…but I do think I can still eat mindfully during time constraints. Of course, I just need to put more THOUGHT into it.
Sarah, I think you are going through a really beautiful, yet challenging season right now. Enjoy that baby boy, & take care of yourself imperfectly. Maybe find one moment a day to savor a quick snack. Something is better than nothing!
Wow this is great! I know I’m late, but I got a head start since I started to eat clean last Monday!! I’m going to check out the rules. Thank you for inviting me!
Glad you are!! It’s NEVER too late to enjoy your food!!
Ahh the secret, to be mindful of what you eat! This is going to be tough, since I shovel food in my mouth like it’s the last I’ll ever eat. I’ll try this out and see how it goes.
It’s a tough habit to break, but so worth it! Mindful Eating: Savor, Observe, Nonjudgment, & Be fully present!
I saw your post and it definitely made me rethink my past weekend of eats…none of which were entirely mindful decisions. But that’s okay, tomorrow starts a new week!
We can start over at this very moment. We can look back at past choices, as mirrors or opportunities or even lessons. Experiences to put into our pockets.
I’m reading these posts in reverse…. but keen to see what challenges you come up with for the month. I’m new to the concept of mindful and intuitive eating – so am hoping to learn from your experience (and that it will give me something to think about!)

I have such freedom since breaking free from diet mentality. I truly am able to eat all foods without guilt. Now, I’m working on the mindfulness piece.
Awesome! 🙂
Great idea. Oh wow the honesty hear! I see my own experience in these words. I feel I beve missed out mote than have the month my biggest fear is my whole life will go by and I will never get this mindful eating thing right I will miss most tastes as well as in my life , miss the flavors of the moment because mind is of chasing the next thing…. And yet when I settle into presence even the simplest food can be sublime…. And I so realize you can’t think you way into mindfulness 0h I so desire this for myself!
It is definitely a process, that is for sure.
