Dear Parker:

Your post to me following my suggestion that you eat slowly, that is Mindfully, was this: “Okay, I can do that. What about moments when I’m not eating? What then?”

When you are not eating you can do the following, right here on your thread: when you post a reply to a member who is trying to be helpful to you, address that member by name, and then thank that member, for example: Hello anita, thank you for your advice. Okay, I can do that, etc. Also, a member posted to you last, Mark, you didn’t reply at all to his valuable input to you, nothing. This is not being mindful outside of the eating context. When you treat people disrespectfully, they are left with a bad feeling about you. That is true here and in your life away from the computer.
