How we overeat without realizing it:
1. We do other things while we are eating: chatting, watching t.v., reading, driving. I just got that I am supposed to sit and eat and be focused on my food, that way you take your time and are aware of what you're eating. I just started sitting down to eat my breakfast after probably 14 years of standing.
2. Eat too fast: I am always in a rush and shovel my food into my mouth. I don't give my brain time to tell my stomach it's full before I overload myself. On Sunday I came home from the gym and drank my smoothie. I still felt hungry after 30 seconds and ate a chicken sausage. Then I felt full and fat.
3. Shovel in food when we are stressed: I was feeling stressed yesterday but was out of popcorn. I went to Trader Joe's and bought some, did not allow myself to eat in the car, or the store for that matter, got home, ripped the bag open, poured it in a bowl and shoveled it in. At least it was popcorn and not cookies, or whoopie pies for that matter!
