Not long ago I had a client that just couldn't stop over eating because she said she just loved food.
My question for her was if she loved food so much, how come she didn't act like she did?
Of course she came back with a huh?
A person that truly loves food, will eat food slowly. They will savour each and every bite, they will notice all the flavours in each bite. Imagine if you were a wine connoisseur you wouldn't just down the glass of wine in one shot. You would smell it, you would take a sip and hold it in your mouth and let the flavours roll around your tongue. This is similar to what a person who truly loves food would act like.
So next time you think you are loving a particular food, pretend you are a food connoisseur, and take your time.
Look at the food, smell the food, have small bites, really taste the food, notice how many flavours you can notice.
Now that is love of food!
