Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I’ll finish a whole plate and still be rummaging for more an hour later
- I only ever notice I’ve eaten too much once I’m already uncomfortably stuffed and a little sluggish
- I wolf my food down and only realize I’m stuffed once I’m uncomfortably past full
- I make it a few hours into the shorter window and then I’m absolutely ravenous and end up devouring everything in sight
- I’ll look down and the plate is empty and I barely remember tasting any of it
