DAY 5

Today's task is to eat slowly and mindfully. There are two reasons this is helpful.
*When you eat slowly, your mind has time to register that you're full.
*When you notice and enjoy every mouthful you feel more satisfied when the food is gone.

Some helpful tactics:
Put your utensils down several times during the meal and wait 10-20 seconds before picking them back up.
Take sips of water between every few bites.
Think about how the food tastes, pay attention as you eat.

Today's to-do list
Read my Truth Card "why I am doing the W-D diet" twice
Read your other truth cards as needed
Did I eat slowly? sitting?
Was I grateful for the success I've had today?
