Mindful eating, day 18: Enjoy your favorite foods

Today's challenge: Enjoy more of your favorite foods mindfully.

TODAY'S CHALLENGE Enjoy more of your favorite foods mindfully. Today we'll use the same principles from yesterday's challenge to dive deeper into the appreciation of favorite foods. Yesterday, you most likely noticed that the first bite of your favorite food was the most enjoyable, and that satisfaction increased while the desire for the food decreased with each bite. In today's challenge, you'll be using the same techniques with different foods. You can choose to complete this exercise with a small amount of a few different favorite foods or pick just one.  After you've decided on a food, sit down and enjoy it slowly, paying special attention to each bite. Ask yourself the following questions as you eat and jot down your answers: How did the taste of the food change after the first bite?  Was the first bite more satisfying than the second? Do you feel compelled to finish the entire portion or were you satisfied with a few bites?
