Freewrite Day 500 Sound

Did you know that some people cannot eat certain foods because of how they sound while being chewed? It’s true! I found this out when I started weight loss coaching. The sound of something hard being bitten on makes certain foods impossible for some people.

This often is true for raw veggies. Aside from the color and smell, I have had numerous people tell me the sound puts them off.

I ask,

“Can you eat potato chips?”

“Yes, but the crunch of potato chips is not the same sound as vegetables make.” (shudder)

Another aspect of the sound of food is the general sound of people eating. Certain cultures think making noise such as slurping or smacking your lips while you eat is not only fine, but a complement to the chef.

I’m too busy eating to ever notice the noise of others. But I read comments about it in my expat groups, when quiet eaters encounter this and are bothered. I tell them to learn how to do it and fit in, but this advice falls on deaf ears.

I have my own quirks with food and got over most of those that keep me from eating healthy. I just decided to push through the pain and do it anyway. I mostly have good luck and those old foods I could not eat are now favorites.

My post is for the #freewrite daily challenge by @mariannewest. WooHoo! 500 days!!! Freewrite is a great way to post on steemit when you do not think you have the time, or talent, or anything to say. It’s a great way to start regular posting on steemit. I know you can do this too! Here is Marianne’s freewrite prompt post for today. Give it a try and surprise yourself.

Statistics say that only 5% of people with health resolutions for the New Year will still be on track after Super Bowl Sunday. Is your fitness equipment still out handy, and are you still on a "diet?" Soon we will be in Bathing Suit Season. Are you ready?

I lost "Half My Size" eight years ago by using natural methods. I started on December 5th and did not give up. You can do it too!
