It didn&#8217;t have to be a lot of food, she didn&#8217;t have to leave over half her meal, just a bit of food, like one last forkfull, just symbolically to not clean her plate. When I gave her the assignment, she said that she was extremely nervous and anxious even thinking about it. However, when I checked in with her after a week she said, &#8220;It&#8217;s going really well, it helps me not to be obsessive about whats on my plate &amp; in also to stop eating past my full point&#8230;&#8221; so I&#8217;d say it was a successful exercise for her in dealing with her compulsive eating issues. Is there anyone who would like to try this challenge for a week? Leave over a bit of food on your plate for each meal. Then you can come on here or onto the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/bingeeatingtherapy\">facebook forum <\/a>and\u00a0say what it&#8217;s been like for you. Did it make you anxious? Upset? Empowered? If you are interested in joining in, please do! \u00a0This is an exercise in mindfulness, because most of us mindlessly clean our plates. They have lots of feelings about not, they don&#8217;t want to be wasteful, or their compulsive eating habits take over. What if you had to be mindful at every meal to leave some over? It might really start to change the compulsion around your behaviors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently gave a challenge to one of my clients to try for one week to leave a little bit of food on her plate at\u00a0each meal.
