Sounds like a good one Marie :)
Does no multi-tasking include chatting? Otherwise we are scuppered at Wagamamas!

Hi Dragon and everyone,
This is a great idea. Thanks for starting it off.
Can I cheat and say keeping a food journal?. Why is it cheating? Because I decided to start on 1st January, fully expecting the novelty to wear off by about mid-January. Surprisingly enough it is still going strong. Not only that, it is having the desired effect because when I see on the screen (who uses paper any more LOL?) what I have eaten it seems to send a message to my brain that I have already eaten and can't be hungry any more.
OK - now for real. I am going to give mindful/intentional eating a try, even though I don't know a huge amount about it.

I think it would be good to start with 'no multi-tasking while eating'. The following extract from the link above seems to make sense to me and is worth a try. I do find I can wolf down the calories without being aware of it when I am concentrating on something else. This seems like a great way of keeping focussed on exactly how much I am eating.
>>>It was an amazing experience for everyone…and I now include it in my "Intentional Eating / Intentioanl Living" presentation.
So as I caught myself in the act of grazing… I looked for a solution, hoping to recapture that experience and replace the oh-my-god-i-just-ate-400-calories-of-chocolate-and-don't-even-remember-it experience. My solution was no multi-tasking while eating: no TV, no reading, no computer, no driving. (I am allowing conversation.)<<<
Cheers to everyone from Marie
