Thanks to my dietitian for turning me on to this Web site (okay AP style guide... website is acceptable but it just doesn't feel right quite yet):
The Center for Mindful Eating has lots of great reading material. It appeals to my already-present interest in Buddhism but focuses on the act of eating itself as an activity that needs our attention and care, something I am not particularly good at (I'm more vacuum than bodisattva).
Which brings me to a joke that I love telling....
What does the Buddha say when he enjoys what he is eating?
Aum (om/ohm) nom nom. Aum nom nom. Aum nom nom.
Yes, I know it's cheesy -- but you know, whatever works.

Very cute joke! :) I'm going to go give that site a look.
ReplyI'm glad you like it -- it makes me giggle.
ReplyIt has also become my mantra when eating. Chew for three aum nom noms at the very least before swallowing -- take time to savor it.
I FINALLY started reading my copy of Savor tonight so I'm definitely bookmarking that site AND I think I'll give the mantra chew a try, too!
ReplyI just got an award I've decided to share with YOU! :) Stop by & grab it at some point!
