Do eat dessert! Dessert is a celebration of good food and a good life.
My grandmother always said, "Be sure to leave room for dessert." Because of this, I learned not to eat until I was stuffed. Saving room for dessert is a lifelong habit, with surprise benefits! Having an eye on dessert makes portion control of the entree sensible. Do eat dessert with a spirit of appreciation. Enjoying dessert sets a tone of appreciation that echoes in every relationship.
I never realized 'desserts' is 'stressed' spelled backwards.
Here's how to enjoy dessert without stress.
- D -- Do the right thing. Eat with self-respect.
- E -- Enjoy every mouthful. Use your tongue to satisfy the drive for flavor.
- S -- Smile more when you are having dessert. Celebrate! Feel the goodness.
- S -- Stop between each mouthful. Put down your fork or spoon and savor the sweetness.
- E -- Engage in eye contact while you're enjoying the sweet. Enjoy sensual syncing.
- R -- Remember, it's fortunate to have dessert when there is so much hunger in the world.
- T -- Take your time. You may discover that you don't need to finish dessert. Dessert is a treat!
