So the question for today is how will we accomplish changing this habit?

Slowing down my eating is a matter of mindfulness. I think I often "check out" while I eat and before I know it, my plate is empty. I need to be fully present when I am eating, and keep my focus on chewing multiple times, as well as taking a break in between bites.

For what it's worth, day one went extremely well. I was very careful to eat slowly and draw each eating out as long as I could. Hopefully I can manage to do the same today.
