We all got it as kids
“Finish what is on your plate, children in _______ are starving
In truth, this is not bad advice. Finish what is on our plate. Finish it, then stop.
Put a moderate portion on the plate, and eat until done. Finish what is on the plate. End of meal.
Like any rare and precious item, a non-brimming plate of food encourages us to slow down and savor.
Yes, finish what is on the plate. And enjoy the process!
The mythic mom in the back of our heads nods her matronly approval.
And when we can fill up on gratitude for our daily portion and skip the bloating of overindulgence, our bodies respond with a feeling of lightness.
Am I talking about dieting? No. This is a discussion of lifestyle.
