Your Fat Fighting Question of the Week: How can I learn to slow down and enjoy what I’m eating?
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

I read that post as well, Kris–it’s one of my big food issues (one of many), and while a lot of the advice is good, I’ve tried most of it at some time or another and still can’t stop inhaling my food.
Maybe I need a robot who can just bring my meals to me at 3-minute intervals, one bite at a time. 🙂
When I was in the army I learn to eat very fast (eating fast = more free time).
And now after many many years I still eat too fast. It’s a bad habit and I hate it.
I’ve been trying to remember to do the WW thing, where you’re supposed to stop halfway through and wait a few minutes. It’s supposed to let help your hunger signals catch up to your brain. I still end up eating the rest of my dinner, but at least it lasts a little longer.
