DAY 89 OF THE 100 DAY CHALLENGE!
Tips For Winners: Eating - Stop. Rest. Assess.
There are several tactics you can use to keep from overeating. Probably one of the most effective is to stop, rest, and assess. Timing is everything. It takes a little bit of time for your body to recognize that it’s had enough to eat. So, if you eat steadily without stopping until you feel full, you could end up feeling full - TOO FULL. So, you want to slow things down a little by using the “rest test”. Before eating, mentally divide the food on your plate in half, eat half the meal then STOP, REST, and ASSESS your hunger. If satisfied, take the food away so you don’t have the chance to ignore your body’s signal and continue eating. OTHER TIPS: don’t take another bite while there’s food in your mouth, put your fork down between bites, switch the focus from eating to conversation and relaxation. If at a restaurant, when you order your meal order a “to go” box at the same time and put half of the meal in the box before eating and save that half for another meal later on.

I really need to pay attention to that advice! I’ve gotten to a point where I feel really good about how far I’ve come on this diet, but I can tell I’m sort of relaxing, too. I am eating way too much fruit again. Need to reign that in!
