I don't have lots of time to type this morning, but wasnted to say that since I have recommitted to ALWAYS sitting down while I eat, I have felt way more mindful of my eating and I have been eating slower. This one is linked so closely to day 3 for me. When I get one, I tend to get the other.
I have eaten lunch at the dining room table two days in a row--something I almost NEVER do when I am home alone. Yesterday, I was headed to the office to web surf or play games while I ate, and I stopped when I got to the DR table and said "No...let's eat here." However, both yesterday and today, I did do a crossword puzzle while I ate so, while I still wasn't eating with no distractions, I think it is a little improvement from sitting in front of the computer or TV.

I'm bad about this one since all meals at home (if I'm alone) are in front of the TV or PC. I still really enjoy my food and am aware of it as I'm eating it (i.e., not just shoveling it in), but I could be both more mindful and slower.
