“Thou should eat to live; not live to eat.” - Socrates

“Our lives are not in the lap of the gods, but in the lap of our cooks.”- Lin Yutang

CIS ME

It’s All about ME, Mindful Eating, is a new acronym but not a new concept. It is part of the idea of pure awareness that was and is still taught in Eastern science. By becoming aware of why, how, when and what we eat we have an opportunity to TyRF, to Transform Your Relationship to Food. It is this transformation that will be the longest lasting and most enduring. Long after the fad diets and pills have failed and been forgotten what will be the most important is your natural and healthy relationship with your food. The knowledge and experience of how to relate and interrelate with your food is one of the most important things you can give yourself and your family.

5.1.4 Even if you have never been exposed to this idea of “ME and WE” (Mindful Eating and What to Eat) you may recognize some or all of the following:

Do you:

• eat while watching TV, driving your car, in a meeting, while talking, while reading the paper or a book.
• skip meals, especially breakfast
• ignore what your body is saying: hunger pangs, rumbling in your stomach, feelings of low energy
• have a list of “comfort foods” that you turn to
• eat without thinking about it,
• eat quickly by gobbling down your food, hardly remembering how it tasted
• eat when you’re not really hungry…possibly when you’re just bored
• eat until you are stuffed
• eat second helpings after you’re full
• eat when you’re nervous, anxious, angry, unhappy, lonely

• eat with the goal of getting as much as possible, getting your money’s worth out of the meal, getting your fair share or more than your share

If you recognize some or all of these scenarios then you might say that you are among the majority of people who are Eating Mindlessly.
