It's fairly simple: when you have less to eat, you appreciate what you have to eat even more. For instance dinner this evening, when I ate half a pound of pasta like it was nothing. Ragu jar sauce had never tasted so delicious! I appreciated every single bite and let none go to waste.
It was at that moment that I realized I needed to eat with more mindfulness and gratitude. Meal after meal too many of us devour our food without ever paying full attention to what we're putting into our bodies, without any thankfulness for all that we have before us. I used to be one of those people, but not anymore. For the rest of this week and every morsel thereafter I will be more mindful and far more grateful.
Pay attention to the food on your plate at Sunday brunch tomorrow and appreciate every bite--you will never have a meal more delicious.
