It’s a few weeks in to my eating consciously as suggested by Paul McKenna’s I Can Make You Thin on TLC.

Here’s what I know so far.

If one kept this up for a lifetime they could likely eat whatever they wanted and not gain weight.

Here’s the thing.

I used to think I loved food.

Turns out I loved eating food while watching TV, reading, flipping through a magazine.

Eating Consciously - thinking about the food, tasting the food, looking at the food, chewing the food slowly - well, that’s just boring.

I used to think I made a bad-ass spaghetti. Eh. It’s okay.

Loved, loved, loved chips - even the low fat kind. But, if I have to go to the table to eat it without a distraction - Eh. I think I’ll pass and just watch the TV or go read.

If I can’t eat breakfast while working at my computer - eating breakfast seems like a waste of time.

Same with taking a break to eat lunch. I’m just not that into it.

I miss eating when I was distracted because the actual food just isn’t as exciting as I thought it was. It feels more like brushing my teeth - I do it cause I have to, not cause I get a lot of pleasure from it.

Has anyone else been trying Paul McKenna’s plan to make us thin?

Are you experiencing this or something else?
