I went directly from permasnacking to 3 meals a day. I made sure I had PLENTY of food on my single plate for every single meal.
This had the dual purpose of physically meeting (or more than meeting) my body's nutritional requirements, and meeting my emotional need of knowing that, even though I was "only" eating three times a day, I was eating "enough."
I also decided to end each meal with a piece of fruit, to give myself something sweet three times a day, and to give myself a firm "ending" to each meal.
As weeks passed, the amounts of food at any given meal have decreased, without my giving it a lot of attention. As the saying goes, establish the habit, then refine!
You can do it!
