Mindful Eating

My "day job" includes attending classes, working with patients, and going to an externship program all related to working towards my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology.  By next January, I will have had to complete a masters thesis; my topic of choice: mindful eating.  Today, the NY Times published an interesting article about mindful eating, "Mindful Eating as Food for Thought."  Think about how often you eat at your desk at lunch or in front of the TV at dinner.  Do you pay much attention to the taste of your food? My research will explore whether there is a relationship between mindful awareness of eating and appetite and weight. Wish me luck!
