Eating too fast.. Aaarrgh!

[theantichick 2,204]

This is a horrible habit for me as well. I used to be a Paramedic, and you had to eat fast if you wanted to eat before the next call came out. My husband is ex-Navy and he wolfs his food down too. I've been working on slowing down, but it's hard. Especially when this inevitably means that the food gets cold. I'm 3 weeks out, so I have a VERY uncomfortable 15-20 min when I eat too fast because it invariably means that I go one or two bites past where I should have stopped. I'm hoping I get better at this.

I too suffer from the same bad habits of eating way too fast. My nutritionalists suggesting using my left hand, as I am right handed, and I will try this tonight.

Thanks so much for all the responses! I dont feel as alone in my struggle! I really thought i was the only one who doesn't learn from mistakes! After i ate too fast a couple of times, i thought I had surely learned my lesson! But, no! I had to repeat the same insanity! Again. And again. And again.

But just hearing all of your support is already helping me focus more on slowing down. Thanks to all of you!????
