Chapters 14, 15, and 16

Not too much to say today. Need to get to sleep soon, so I'll try and keep this short.

Chapter 14 is titled Morning Effects Evening, basically the whole don't skip breakfast deal. When you skip breakfast you tend to 'crash' later on, this also causes a lot of people to munch all afternoon and after dinner. So eat your breakfast kids.

Chapter 15 is called First Two Bites. When you eat food for flavor only, the first two bites taste the best/have the most flavor. After your just eating for the sake of eating. A good habit to get into is to have your first two bites, savor them, and then decided if you really need to eat the rest. Chances are you already got what you needed from those two bites.

Finally Chapter 16 is called Nurturing Power of Food. It's more or less the same as the last chapter. This time it says that the comfort you get from food you usually get from the first two bites. They had a good example in the book about when to stop eating. Ever come home and started eating something (like a tub of ice-cream) and just kept eating it hoping to get that comfort feeling? You keep thinking the next bite with be it, you'll feel better and then you'll stop. Except that it never happens, you end up feeling worse. If the first two bites don't make you feel good then you don't need this food.

The exercises were mostly about the practice of eating and then stopping, and having breakfast lol. Okay time for bed, got work early in the morning... and we might get snow tonight!
