Good tips, OKay.
I eat slower than anybody I know. My problem stems from not eating enough at mealtime. I use smaller plates, and I'm mindful of how much I put on my plate. But because I do this, I'm hungry a couple hours later and tend to snack on stuff that's not as healthy as the meal I had prepared. I also am not really hungry in the mornings so eat sparingly if at all, but once I start, look out, it seems as if I get in catch-up mode.
I would dare to say if each of us was brutally honest with ourselves, we could write a very concise list of just what we're doing wrong, listing every bad habit. I don't think any of us simply do not know what the problems are. It's the fixing those problems that's the hard part, don't you think?
On a health note, I've decided to put it in here because it's health related and might be useful information for anybody reading... I accompanied DH to dermatologist for a boil or something that appeared on his neck practically overnight a few weeks ago. In a short amount of days it swelled up and looked similar to a raised doughnut with the middle being the part that bled. Turns out that is squamous cell carcinoma. Biopsy done. I put that here because I had thought all skin cancers were irregular in shape and darkish. No, this type is perfectly round, skin colored and fast to appear/grow. So, if anybody ever grows something like this, get thee to a dr. immediately! I'm sure glad we did.
