Put Down that Fork!
Seriously. I am trying to focus on setting down my fork (or sandwich) in between bites. I have a nasty habit of shoveling my food (if it is good) into my mouth and finish eating in record time. I have to change my mindset. Eating a meal is not a race. By slowing down and enjoying my food will allow my stomach time to send the message to my brain when it has had enough food. This is going to need to be a conscience effort while eating until it becomes a habit...creating a lifestyle change!

Hi! This is one of my strategies too. It's so easy to inhale a sandwich and then forget you even ate it! I also try and extend the amount of time between mouthfuls by taking a sip of water as well and making absolutely sure I've finished one bite before picking up and taking another. It's not just about giving your stomach time to realise it's full either...conscience effort...conscience eating...if you concentrate on your food and the act of having a meal, you'll be suprised at how much longer you feel full and won't accidentally 'forget' that you've already eaten when walking past the donut stall on the way to the shops!
