Slow Down

Practice putting your fork or spoon down after every bite and try savoring the flavor of the food you are eating.

Food break

As I am eating I put my utensil down in between bites. I know this sounds crazy, but I noticed that I never used to do it. I always used to put the bite in my mouth and get the next bite ready on my fork or spoon. As soon as I was finished chewing, I put the next bite in, never allowing a break.

Slow Down!

My then-5-year-old once told my husband at dinner, "Finish chewing what's in your mouth before you take another bite." What an a-ha! Often I am only almost-done chewing the previous forkful when I scoop up another bite. Being mindful of this really slows me down. I also put my fork down now & then.
