chew my food thoroughly before i swallow

I am reviewing my goals and it is so clear I have yet to get anywhere with this one. Argh.

I am eating the right things, but still need to improve my relationship with food in certain things, I guess. Meaning, to think about it as being an act where I have to be present, and not just zoom through it. 35-50 chews is the goal, depending on the food item.

Six of ‘em…not a good thing…

...I am still so far away from my 35-chews-per-bite goal, or my holding sips in my mouth before swallowing goal. Need to get better, that is all I have to say, and not scarf down my food.

Need to focus. Swallowed chunks of rye bread with very little chewing, as with most of my food. Need to eat slowly, like I did yesterday in the Lebanese food restaurant.
