Silence is golden at my house during meal times

Why do I say that? Because it is the truth. I found I was getting stuck more while having conversations at the table and I was not paying attention to what I was doing. I told my husband no more talking at the table while eating. It really works very well. That gives us more quality time later in the evening to talk about the days events. It's just something I need to do for myself.

Me too Cheryl. I have to have it quiet so I can concentrate on taking small

bites and chewing really well. If not I will have issues. I thought I was the only

one.

That is something I do as well. No talking while eating.

I just set my fork down. Talk and listen and watch how many bites others are taking while I wait. It makes me aware of how much I used to eat. And I am happy to see the difference while talking and setting my fork down. .

That would make me feel awkward. Thank God I can manage eating/talking/interacting all at the same time while still being mindful of what my jaw, hands, and mouth are doing.
