This post is spot on @consciousangel7! I can totally relate to the typical SAD practice of eating quickly or being completely distracted when you eat. Taking a more mindful approach is beneficial in so many ways, as you have related. I remember before I moved in with my boyfriend I was living in an apartment for a while on my own. I didn't have cable tv or internet because I was too strapped to be able to afford it and had access to internet at work where I was the majority of my time. That was actually really great in many ways as I was much more productive at home, but I got in the habit of picking up a book every time I sat down to a meal by myself at home. It turned into such a habit that every time I sat down to read I wanted food. After a while I wondered why I had put on a few pounds and realized what had happened! It really is amazing how seemingly small habits can have such a big impact on your health and wellness. I am definitely going to take time to enjoy my evening meal after my boyfriend gets done grilling it. ;) Thank you for sharing!
