The last bite indeed!

Sunday, March 19, 2017

This morning I thought about the last bite. A blog “There’s Always a Last Bite” (Martha324)

Link below

I had a bagel and whipped cream cheese with my morning coffee this morning and I paid attention to my bites. This is something I don't normally do but what I noticed this morning was the last bite was as wonderful as the first bite. All I can say is that it must have been the fat in the cream cheese! Fat is one of my trigger foods so I must pay attention to what is happening when I eat it.
I will have to pay closer attention to other things that I eat and drink. Yesterday evening I had two bloody Mary's and it lowered my inhibitions as far as food went. I'm glad I didn't go out to eat!!
Spring is tomorrow!!!! Woo Hoo!!!

I have found that if I don't pay attention to what I am eating then when I am done I feel like I have to go back and have more so I can enjoy the flavor of it. I think that often happens when we let ourselves get too hungry.

I have read about mindful eating and how that helps people slow down while eating and enjoying every day. Sounds like that is what you were doing.

Just saw this after adding a comment and thank you for commenting on my blog! The last bite is a great concept; can't say I always remember it.....especially after the second (or third ) glass of wine.

So frustrating when I think about the fact that (according to what I've read/heard) fat actually binds flavors to foods, making them tasty (and therefore tempting)..........sigh........

One of Judith Beck's main strategy recommendations: savor every bite. Thankfully I pretty much do this at meals. It's only when I go outside my plan that I hurry, probably because I feel I'm doing something wrong and have to get it over with quick to I don't get caught. But also, it's pretty human to gulp food. It's interesting that many slim cultures insist on opposing this innate drive. They put a lot of emphasis on enjoying what they do eat, and don't seem to think that eating more of something increases the pleasure. Eating slowly is what increases the pleasure.

In fact, they don't value getting very full. And they never talk about "grabbing a bite."

Since our culture doesn't handle food well, we have to create our own culture!

So, today we savor first, middle, and last bites.

I agree, alcohol lowers inhibition for sure, leading to unintentional foods eaten.

The blog gave me pause to think as well!
