Y’know I think sometimes “mindful eating” gets conflated with diet-lite, “chew 20 times before swallowing” “I do not sully the temple of my body with gross matter” bullshit. But let me just say. As a fat person (“small fat”) that is not what it’s working out to with me. I’ve actually experienced a lot of food restriction in my life, not part of formal dieting, just due to a variety of life circumstances. As a result, especially when I’m tired (as I have been this week) I tend to eat until no longer uncomfortably hungry but not until full. My dietitian commented that I probably don’t know what full feels like and she’s right, I really don’t. As a result, I’m on this bus to work, semi-delirious from lack of sleep, because my poor body got frustrated and slammed down all of the FOOD, motherfucker buttons at the same time. At about 4:30 am.

I’ll take care of this. Today I’ll work extra hard on noticing if I’m full and eating when I’m not. I’m going to try and get some work stuff done and then come home and sleep so I can have the energy going forward to make myself actual meals.

But it’s an interesting thing to experience, as someone who’s losing weight right now not due to calorie restriction but due to finally getting treatment for diabetes. I’ve had more than one medical professional’s eyes get big when I say I’ve found a really good dietitian who’s helping me eat more and feel a lot better. I have a soft throat and a big belly. I’m supposed to be punishing the soft animal of my body for loving what it loves. And yet I’m not. And I don’t need to. I shouldn’t, in fact.

Anyway I’m too tired to have a real point. This is just a strange time to be existing in my body. And I do think that it can be hard to think about healthy stuff outside of the framework of weight loss, because the two get so relentlessly presented as synonymous. So I just want to say that they’re not. Acknowledging your body doesn’t have to work like that. Accepting your body doesn’t have to work like that. It’s ok.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to buy a second breakfast because I’m fucking starving.

I'm a huge advocate for mindful eating

It's not because it will help you lose weight or make you more zen. It's because it's a way for you to learn yourself and learn your body. It's a way to heal your relationship with food because food is not your enemy it is your healer. You aren't eating to punish yourself because food is a gift, and you should never feel bad about wanting it. Your body is beautiful the way it is, so when you eat nourishing things, it's because it feels good and nourishing. You stop eating things that hurt you because they physically hurt you, and no other reason. You are just mindful of what you put in your body and how it tastes and feels. You're mindful of the process it takes to make it and how it smells. With mindful eating, you are invited to enjoy every part of your meal. You are encouraged to be happy to be full and satisfied. There is no bounce back from this because you learn to love yourself through food, and that's beautiful.

Zucchini evolution - 1 week 🥒🔆💦

Each year since I started my green journey I’ve challenged myself to grow something new, and see first hand the resiliency of nature in my local environment.

My raised garden bed is primarily clay - and currently home to a pretty large anthill. I maintain peace with the insects by leaving their corner colony alone, and supplement the clay with store bought soil when I plant initially, but beyond that all I do to the earth is weed and water when needed and wait 👀

Which means I’m VERY excited to have both my new crops for 2023 - garlic and these beautiful zucchini’s, doing well!

While our grow and harvest may still be small scale, a lot can still be done on a tiny budget with the help of our incredible planet! 🤩

“Mindful Eating”

C: What would this struggle be while eating?

G: To know the source of one’s food. To recognize those around one. To see where one is. To receive the impressions of the food itself, the temperature of the food, the different tastes of the food. To sense the specific parts of the food which are entering, including all the spices. All of these things can be sensed. Not of course to ask one’s host what is in the food or to ask the cook what is in the food. But to, by taste, separate the components of the food. And also by texture to separate the components. Every spice has its own texture, as well as the major texture of the food.

To also sense the impressions which result from the food’s interaction with the palate, and with the tongue, with the back of the tongue, and with the throat. To sense inwardly, that is to say, to gain the impressions that result from the passage of the food through the body and the interaction of the glands and the interaction of the organs as they process the food and extract from it first being food. The smell of the food and all its gradations. You can also receive the impressions of the emotional states of those around you, as they eat the same food, and as they process the food also. Watch the emanations resulting in them from the ingestion of this food and from the interaction between themselves as they sit there. Even if silently, there are reactions which occur between them. Also one can remember those who do not presently have the possibility for obtaining food at all.

There is as well impression of the exact gradations of light. Light never remains the same during the day, even if artificially produced. Sound also proceeds during the meal. For now these impressions will be enough.

The Mindful Eating Technique: Increase Brain Power, Improve Brain Health

The Journey of Mindful Eating: Choosing an Awareness- and Wholeness-Centered Lifestyle

The more we learn about mindful eating, the more we realize that this is a practice that goes beyond the plate and the act of eating. It's a way of thinking and living that asks us to be mindful of everything about our relationship with food, including meals. Let's investigate more aspects of mindful eating and apply its ideas to different areas of our lives.

Responsible Hydration: The Vital Spirit

It is possible to approach the act of drinking water with intention, just as we can think about our meals with the practice of mindfulness. As the clear, life-giving liquid hydrates and regenerates your body, pause to appreciate it. As you take a sip, pay attention to the sensation and express thankfulness for the vital role that water plays in your health. This mindful method of drinking water enhances the idea of mindful eating by encouraging a comprehensive relationship with the food we eat.

Using Food to Promote Mental Health: A Music of Senses

In addition to providing physical nourishment, mindful eating has significant effects on mental health. During meals, using all of our senses produces a piece of sensory music that speaks to our thoughts and feelings. We develop a concentration that permeates our mental state as we relish the hues, textures, and tastes. Eating mindfully turns into a self-care routine, a break from the stresses of everyday life, and a chance to strengthen our bonds with ourselves.

Consciously Moving: The combination of Form and Air

The practices of mindful eating are enhanced when we involve mindful movement into our everyday lives. Mindful movement, such as taking a relaxing walk before dinner or practicing yoga before breakfast, helps us to feel more connected to our bodies. We prime our bodies and minds for the next round of nourishment by bringing our breath and movement into peace. This thoughtful method creates an effective dance between our breath, body, and the food we eat, expanding the practice of mindfulness beyond the act of eating.

Cooking with Awareness: A Pleasant Meditation

Eating mindfully is an art that starts long before the meal is even taken. A silent activity, mindful cooking asks us to be totally involved in the kitchen. Cooking involves chopping vegetables, measuring ingredients, and mixing containers. By preparing food mindfully, we can turn cooking into a kind of meditation and create our meals with intention and positive energy. The delight of cooking mindfully lies not only in the finished product but also in the process of creating it.

Reflective Thought: Promoting Appreciation and Awareness

After consuming food with awareness, pause to think. Thanks to for all the food you've been eating and the work that went into preparing it. Think back on the feelings, ideas, and experiences you had during the meal. This reflective moment strengthens the mindful eating process and starts a chain reaction of awareness that spreads to other areas of our lives besides the dinner table.

Designed Dining in Group Environments: Along Moments of The Presence

An opportunity to introduce mindful eating into everyday life is presented by sharing a meal with others. Talk to people who mean something to you, enjoy each other's company, and value the bonding experience of eating together. Through developing a mindful atmosphere in social settings, we support everyone's happiness that extends beyond personal health.

Children's Mindful Eating: Developing Positive Connections with Food

The starting point for a lifetime of healthy habits begins when children are taught the principles of mindful eating. Tell them to taste every bite, use all of their senses, and pay attention to what their bodies are saying. Children who are raised with mindfulness taught in them have a better capacity to make thoughtful decisions and form healthy connections with food.

The Development of Mindful Eating: A Continuous Habit

Eating mindfully is a lifetime practice that changes with us rather than a destination. We find that it weaves into the fabric of our everyday lives rather than being limited to particular moments as we continue to investigate its breadth. It's a way of life that works for everything, from private dinners to large parties, morning routines to nighttime thoughts.

Mindful Eating's Benefits: Nourishing the Body and Mind

1. Improved Digestion and Nutrient Absorption

Eating mindfully and slowly promotes better digestion, which in turn helps our bodies absorb important nutrients.

2. Weight Management

Mindful eating promotes enhanced control of calories and helps with weight management by raising awareness of hunger and fullness clues.

3. Better Relationship with Food

By practicing mindful eating, one can reduce psychological and quick eating and develop a more positive connection with food.

4. Less Stress and Anxiety

Eating mindfully calms down dinnertime and simplifies the tension and anxiety that come with rushed or distracted eating.

5. Increased Pleasure from Food

Eating becomes more enjoyable when we take the time to appreciate the tastes and textures of our food, turning it from an everyday task into an enjoyable one.

Empathy-Building Techniques for Mindful Eating: Raising Awareness

1. Building Gratitude

At every single meal, take a moment to express your gratitude for the food's nourishment and the work that went into preparing it.

2. Responding to the Senses

Pay attention to the flavors, textures, and colors of your food. To fully appreciate the sensory richness of your meal, use all of your senses.

3. Mindful portioning

Use smaller plates and pay attention to how much you eat to prevent eating too much. Before picking up for more, take the time to fully experience every bite.

4. Removing Distractions

Establish a specific area for eating that is free from electronics and television. This allows you to enjoy your meal in the moment.

5. Chewing and Savoring

Chew mindfully, taking time to appreciate the tastes and textures of your food. These easy steps enhance digestion and help you develop a greater connection with what you are eating.

6. Paying Attention to Cues of Hunger and Fullness

Be aware of your body's messages. Consume food only when you're hungry and quit when you're full. The concepts of careful eating are in line with this instinctive eating style.

7. Mindful Snacking

Include snacks in the mindful eating routine. Select healthy options and take breaks or multitask while having fun with them.

In general, mindful eating becomes a lifestyle—a focused, conscious method of healthy one's own physical and mental well-being—rather than just a technique. By expanding the practice to include multiple meals, we invite mindfulness into every aspect of our relationship with food, converting it into an intentional act of self-honor, a celebration of life, and an endless dance of presence.

The Hunger-Fullness Scale.

This hunger-fullness scale is helpful for mindful eating and getting in touch with your body and its needs. When you are content and neither hungry nor full, you are in the middle of the scale at 5. The further away from a meal you get, the lower the scale you move towards 1, and the more hungry you will become. Eating a meal or a snack will start you moving up on the scale towards 10. The goal you should aim for is to stay between 3-7 so that you eat when you start to get hungry, but don't overeat until you're uncomfortable.

Eating in response to your natural hunger and fullness cues can help you to maintain a better weight and feel better overall in your relationship with food, your body, and it's needs. This can also reduce stress around eating and may even reduce eating disorders.

Everyone's body is different and nourishment levels are different for everyone. Food needs also vary day to day, and depend on many factors.

Credit for the hunger-fullness scale is: Zero Longevity.

You Are What You Eat, and Also What You Don’t

The Eastern Philosophy of Consumption and AbstentionIn the intricate dance of life, we often hear the adage, “You are what you eat.” Rooted in the wisdom of many cultures, this phrase suggests that our physical and mental well-being is profoundly influenced by the food we consume. But just as importantly, the choices we make about what we refrain from eating also define us. In the vast expanse of…

Humans have an evolved mechanism to eat whenever food is available. -Mark Leary Duke University

--Developed countries don't currently deal with the kind of food scarcity of our past. This is a reminder to check yourself-- you may not need to eat just because your body or mind is telling you to.

Be self aware. Cultivate that in yourself.

Have you eaten enough? When will food be available again?

If you haven't, go ahead. Eat. Be mindful of portions and eat for your goals.

If you have, it is ok to say no. It is ok to skip eating something that does not align with your goals. Especially if you have more nutritive or mindful options at home.

Writing this to myself as a personal note to stop over consumption. The people pleasing. The resources I am taking could be used for someone else. I don't need to eat multiple meals when others are going hungry.
