How to know when you should stop eating
23 April 2008 by livingrainbowcolor
It generally doesn’t take many bites. If I’m really hungry, the first bites are like heaven itself. Afterwards, I notice that I am still hungry, but the flavor intensity has worn off.
Lately, I’ve had a strong signal that it’s time to stop eating. First, I look at the next bite, and I get this “blech” feeling in my stomach. If I take that bite, then it’s like eating cardboard. At that point I know that pretty much every bite after this will only add to a feeling of being too full.
This isn’t happening when I’m halfway through a bag of Chee-tos, mind you. It’s more like after 1.5 pieces of toast, or one sandwich. Is this what you call intuition?
I got this link from you comment about weighing. I have to tell you this post made me laugh…when I read the cheetos part. Very funny!
I stayed off of the scale this morning and I dont plan on looking at it again until Monday morning.
Good luck in your weight loss pursuit.
I reckon you’re hit the nail on the head there!! It also means that you are definately paying attention whilst you are eating. I tend to find that I end up sighing and I know I’m done. Now the next thing I need to do is to actuallyu stop when I get there!! x
