This is another food/eating post, so feel free to skip if that’s triggering! I should have put a warning on yesterday’s!

Another thing I noticed I was doing during meals when Steven was gone was scarfing down my food even faster than normal. How is that even possible? I already eat so fast! I felt like I was shoveling food in my face, and I wasn’t super hungry. There was no reason to. It’s just my autopilot.

UGH.

This (how fast I eat) has bothered me FOR YEARS. The only time I seem to slow down is when I am talking during a meal and actually taking breaks, or when I have burned my mouth so bad I have to eat slow.

I really want to learn to slow down and savor my food more! It embarrasses me to always be done first. Maybe I should start with chewing more and putting my fork down between bites. Or drinking water in between. Or something. GAH.

I believe in me… I can do this… right?!

The good news is, I am still not overeating. I bought this delicious ginger molasses cookie at Five Corners in Tucson and ate half of it one day and half the next. Look at me, actually honoring my hunger.
