So we have decided to play a food game here in Ionia for three days (we love playing games!)

We are focusing on chewing! and not eating in between meals (so no snacking)

chewing is very hard for a lot of people I know, so we thought to try and make foods that encourage chewing a little more, and make less so people don't over eat....I have been enjoying just putting the intention there to chew (even though I am not very good at it either) it makes me feel more calmed down! 

I don't count my chews I just try to wait until it gets sweet and liquidity!
