The Speed At Which We Eat

Very interesting comment from Elizabeth regard how fast she eats. She recently noticed that she is frequently the first person done at each meal.

I have had the same issue for many years. Here are some of the tricks that help me slow down:

1. NO eating standing up. I fight with myself as I am always multi-tasking, but I will not put anything in my mouth while standing.

2. Rip apart your sandwiches. I literally open it up, cut it in half, and then eat one quarter of the sandwich at a time. That way, it takes much longer to eat AND you have to be careful since the lettuce and tomato will fall all over the place if you aren’t careful.

3. I put my fork down. I literally put it down after every bite. That way, the fork doesn’t become a shovel.

These are just a few. Please comment if you have any more to add.
