A few observations ... first it was like Christmas shopping by the time my daughter and I left the mall! Is it always like this on a day in March?
As I approached my car, I noticed a paper note stuck into my side view mirror ... this vehicle next to the driver's side was soooo close to me I could barely get into my car. I had parked far away from everyone! I opened the note and this is what it said:
Ummm, I didn't make you park that close to me did I?
Thank God, with all my sensors and back up gadgets I made it out without a scratch! But, what do you make of that note? I guess I'm glad they wrote it but seriously, did you have to pick that spot?
Anyway, I digress ... at the mall - this was the Short Hills Mall where it is full of upscale, ridiculously expensive shoes (but oh did Jimmy Choo's pink sandals look yummy!), Range Rover Epoque in the center of the mall and the list goes on, I noticed people eating. Not so much sitting down and eating, but walking and eating, eating while reading, and eating while on their laptops (you know those men who bring their wives there to shop and they sit in the center court).
Did you ever notice when you eat in this manner that you tend to be hungry an hour later? Do our bodies even notice we ate a meal or a snack even though our bellies are full? Sometimes I am guilty of this ... inhaling a meal while I'm alone. It's like our digestion didn't even know what hit it! Anyway I've started trying to consciously really enjoy my food! Try it if you're doing the "eat and read", "eat and play your ipad", "eat and watch tv" method ... chew your food! Count the bites. Each bite counts and helps your digestion function properly. Start with 20 bites and work up to 50. It will help you feel good and enjoy what you're eating!!
In Wellness,

PS ... If you wrote the above note please know I did not even touch your Lexus with my fingertip! Hope the next car in didn't either!
