Living to eat and not eating to live

Wishing I could flip those words and just eat to live. Overeating is something I do constantly. I eat super fast so that feeling of full never happens until I’ve eaten way too much. I don’t know why everything needs to finished on a full plate in such a hurry. I wish I could change the good feelings that come from eating something tasty. I know this is why I over eat and think about my next meal constantly.

I hear you! I used to do the same thing and it was so frustrating. One thing that really helped me was to make sure that I was not distracted when I was eating. So no TV or phone or laptop. I try to focus on taking smaller bites, chewing and actually enjoying the process of eating instead of just shoveling it all in as fast as possible.

I still fall back into bad habits sometimes, but maybe give this a try and see if it helps.

Sending you positive vibes to feel better!
