Changing diet

I am fed up with eating food that "tastes good". Ok, I am generally pulling away from the tribe, but still have to use the grocery store, am eating less of what I normally intake, especially sweets.

People think I'm weird, because of what I don't eat. Again, breaking from the herd mentality won't be a favorable task. But conscious eating, selective eating represents change for me, one, or several that I am willing to make. And am slowing my chewing to give my taste centers more time, with less food.

Dear John,
 
I think "tasting good" and healthy are not mutually exclusive. As long as you get all the nutrients your body needs, what difference does it make what people think. Chewing slowly aids digestion and adds to the appreciation of what one eats.
 
Bon appetite!

Peace and joy!

I ate 1/2 of an ice cream bar for dessert last night after a soy burger and mountain salad (because it was someone's leftovers). And I cut my ice cream bar into 4 pieces, and ate 2 pieces an hour apart in small sections, really slowing down. It was even more of a pleasure this way! Smaller is good!

Next I think I'll go to just smelling food, a breathetarian. My coffee sure smells good this morning. I'll sit and enjoy just breathing, each new and uniquely rich new breath. My breathing is, tasty.

Maybe it's my beard's fault. More beard less food, to get stuck in, or have people motion, touching their beard which doesn't exist... "universal food stuck in beard gesture." Beards were not meant for whipped cream, strawberries "yes" though, the real sweet ones, like those that will be in my garden, in another couple months. The beard can wait. fffff - ilter.

Breatharian, Wordless,
a real thing!
Once I was close to being one,
and have thought of returning
but I know that I would miss the spiritual essence of a strawberry
that was put on this earth for my nourishment and enjoyment . . .
I am afraid that I enjoy sensual pleasures like this
too much now . . .
time is short,
and I believe I am here to grow and learn
and enjoy what this earth has to offer.
I may not get another chance . . .

Enjoy your ice cream all at once
or a piece at a time . . .
it is all such an amazing gift,
this life . . . live it
with love . . .

i will, i am, sparrow
As of right now am enjoying the full goodness of an orange a friend gave me

and saving the peel for the compost! Woo hoo!!

the leaf hasn't moved much, back on the deck, but each turn is beautiful

because eating, takes so much time, of importance, the really, the real important stuff gets pushed off, until tomorrow, which never comes, for most, the most in us, me

people are like food, not literally, but figuratively

Like the other night, I was bringing ice water to a patient, so I brought an extra glass out to a coworker at the desk, making it a point to her, and she completely ignored it. I thought, "wow, some gifter I am." That won't stop me.

Water! Clean cool ice water here! Rejected, like some kind of trash. Some people fight and die over water, clean water, or air.

I'm sorry, just being a jerk.
