After reading the lecture slides on the topic "Food", it really made me think about my thoughts about food. I'm a big foodie and I like to try different foods and broaden my horizon. I used to care so much about what I ate and how much of it I ate and not mindlessly consuming a big meal. Now, I'm kind of easier on myself about what I eat, but I do try and think about what is actually in my food and I try to cut things out or not eat as much of it like I usually did. I also feel like self control is a huge part of food and how much we consume. I believe that you are allowed to eat whatever you want, but make sure you are not pushing yourself over your limit, especially if it's not the most nutritional meal you put into your body.
I thought this article is great at explaining mindful eating and really taking the time to enjoy and reflect about what you eat from day to day.

Hi Moira,
ReplyDeleteI'm happy that you have seemed to take a step towards a healthier relationship with food as well as yourself. I agree that you should be able to eat what you want while also being aware of the nutritional aspect of the meal you are having. Along with this, the relationship of self control and food is a huge one and many people dont realize this. Good job on pointing it out! Great post, I really enjoyed your outlook on it!
