<\/a>\"salt<\/a>Thursday, I let myself get too hungry. It was a busy afternoon at work and I worked late. Going nonstop, I failed to listen to my hunger signals until I arrived home. By then, it had been over 8 hours since I’d eaten and I was starving. Definitely a 2, bordering on a 1, on the hunger scale.<\/p>\n

Our menu plan for dinner was chicken and rice soup. It is a favorite, tried and true recipe <\/a>we’ve made for decades. It is quite similar to the chicken and rice soup recipe in Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat<\/a> on page 343. It’s one of the recipes my husband makes and the aroma greeted me at the door.<\/p>\n

I asked, “Am I hungry?<\/a>\u00a0– You betcha,” and I raced to the kitchen. Then, I remembered Dr. May’s <\/a>sage advice when famished, “Use caution.” I followed her recommendation, slowed down, paid attention, and ate mindfully. By doing so, I didn’t overeat and stopped when I was satisfied.<\/p>\n

This is very different than what I would have done in the past. It seemed like the best soup I’d ever eaten. After dinner, I said to my husband, “That was fantastic; very satisfying. It was exactly what I wanted.” Being the adorable, funny, and often sarcastic guy that he is, he asked, “Hmmm…are we still talking about dinner?”<\/p>\n

Laughing, I realized, when you’re a foodie <\/a>like me, and especially when you’re starving, making love may be higher on the list of the best things in life, but eating doesn’t follow too far behind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
