Re: Learning to pause during my meal

[Guest guest]

What I have started to do (based on " The French Don't Diet Plan " ) is

not so much to eat half and then see if I'm still hungry, but rather

to really taste and enjoy every bite, to make sure my mouth is empty

before I put another bite in there, to see how I'm enjoying the meal

each time I swallow, and to really pay attention to what is happening

around me (my husband or a book usually). I find it often takes me so

long to eat a meal, I get bored with it half-way through.

This doesn't work every time, sometimes I start in eating faster and I

finish the whole thing, but generally I am satisfied with a lot less

than before.
