Do you always practice mindful eating?

We watched a movie on TV last night and I made some homemade popcorn and cookies to munch on. Unfortunately, we finished all the food before the movie was even half over. I guess we were snacking without really paying attention.
Has this ever happened to you?

@Shasha_ - I have different kinds of food according to the seasons. During winter we like soups, particularly creamy soups like pumpkin and potato and leaks. During summer we like salads and one of our favorite is tuna and avocado, or a chicken salad.

I eat my dinner while watching news. While eating I concentrate on news as well as my food. I never forget to chew every morsel till it it turns into liquid. It has been my habit for years.

@Shasha_ [em]lol[ I don't know It happens automatically. I'm eager to know what is happening around in my country and the world and I'm equally serious about chewing my food properly. I knew our digestive system begins from mouth.

That is a fascinating superpower!
It sounds like your brain is running a perfectly balanced, dual-core processor.

Wow that's terrible.
That is not mindful eating.
Mindful eating is eating it all before the movie starts!!

That is the ultimate plot twist, and honestly, your logic is absolutely flawless! Eating the entire snack during the trailers to ensure 100% undivided attention for the actual movie is peak cinematic mindfulness. You are completely living in the moment!

Not what I meant
Eat it all before movie starts
Refill
And eat some more
Perfectly logical

@Ineeddentures LOL
That is the absolute unwritten rule of movie snacks.

Perfection is impossible. It's completely fine to take a break from being mindful of every single bite
