Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Mindful eating: 'Suddenly, you have power over food'
There are many ways to control weight. Some are initially effective but often end up falling into yo-yo effect, the cyclical loss and gain of weight, like the up-down motion of a yo-yo. Though it may sound like the difference in medical treatment between Western and Oriental, which is more essential to be in a good weight range, mind control or weight control?
There is a new Western-Oriental hybrid-kind of idea to control weight, called mindful eating. You may wonder what mindful or mindfulness means. It basically means to maintain a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, as well as the surrounding environment.
Sounds like Zen meditation? Well, there don’t seem to be so many zen practitioners who need serious weight control, do they?
Enjoy reading, and try asking yourself during your next meal if you’re eating because you’re still hungry.
