Take Your Time

My mom is always telling me to slow down, and yet I keep eating like a starving child. It has always been that way for some reason. As such, my stomach doesn't have time to send the signals to my brain telling me I'm full until my stomach is so full it might burst. Even though the buffet industry might want you to think this is a good thing, it is not. You should never feel completely full, let alone bursting at the seams. So try eating slowly, savoring the taste, and take the time to chew your food. Either that or eat half of your plate, wait 10 or 15 minutes, and see if you still want to eat the other half. You are never quite as hungry as you may think.
