Two bad habits when eating.
Posted: Mon Aug 11, 2014 11:21 am
I'm on No S reboot # 567. Actually I'm kidding about 567 which is an exaggeration, but basically I'm back again. I'm starting with the basics and am on my first 21 day challenge.
I live alone, and approximately 99% pf my eating is done alone.
I've noticed that I'm eating too quickly. I was wondering how those of you who also ate too quickly dealt with this at the very start of followng No S?
Is it best to start now to slow down my eating, while I'm getting my basic 3 plates habit in place, or should I wait until I've got the 3 plates down successfully and then focus on slowing down my eating speed?
Also I'm interested to hear what your opinions are about not doing anything else while eating. I read advice over and over that we shouldn't watch tv or be on the computer etc during a meal. I find this difficult, just sitting at the table on my own and doing nothing else but eating. It seems odd to me, for example if we're eating with other people, we will be conversing whilst eating. I never see advice that suggests we shouldn't have a conversation while we're eating, and nobody would want to take that advice, but all the time see this stuff about the tv, or even not to read when eating.
Thoughts?
