RE: A 20 Minute Blog a Day - you are what you eat
Oh you poor poor thing...I really feel your pain, on many levels!
Did you have all 4 removed? I did years ago and looked like I had stuffed a football in my mouth...for a week...swollen, sore, hungry, in pain...its just awful and I really feel for you!
On the upside, I lost a bit of weight (a lot actually) felt relieved to get the little darlings out (you could insert an expletive here...darlings they surely weren't!!!) and it did make me appreciate proper chewy food again once the swelling went down.
And here's the thing, which you rightly point out in your post, since then I really try to eat consciously, slowly and with awareness. I once spoke to an impossibly chic French lady, beautifully dressed (mais qui!) but slender and enjoying her pan au chocolat...she said this, and you have to insert a French accent here..."Yes, darling, I forbid myself nothing, I eat everything...but just a leeetle, and I chew it very well, many times"
So there you have it..maybe having these teeth extracted really does bestow real wisdom after all 😊😊😊
Really hope you feel great again soon ⭐️
thank you @lilygolightly you've made my afternoon with this comment :) and the beautiful French mademoiselle had it 100% right - eat slow and chew very well - you enjoy it more, your body distributes the nutrients more efficiently and you get fuller faster! 2 days in and I'm still taking it slow - I do feel myself want to slip back into rushing but then my sore mouth stops me lol
I'm going to keep refereeing my mind while I eat and with any luck I'll be taking my time with my food for the rest of my life! <3
Thank you dear for the well wishes :) I appreciate it very much
Ha ha...loving the way you phrased that @amariespeaks....refereeing of the mind...time to blow the whistle on yourself! And so glad you're feeling a bit better. ❤️
It has definitely worked for me, savouring the food, appreciating it, being grateful for it...creates a whole new attitude towards the bite in your mouth and how lucky we are to have it. Getting some ideas for a post here...off to explore penning that! Full steem ahead eh?
Happy refereeing! 😊
