Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I keep finishing meals uncomfortably stuffed because I just eat until the plate’s clean
• I find myself eating and I’m not even sure I was hungry
• I’ll look down and the plate is empty and I barely remember tasting any of it
• I want to actually feel what slowing down does, but a whole meal is too much to hold my attention on
• My meals just bleed into whatever I was doing

Practices that may help

1. Hunger-satiety scale — eating within the 3–7 window
   Eat when hunger reaches 3 on a 0–10 scale and stop when satiety reaches 7 — neither starving nor stuffed.

2. Mindful Eating, Made Practical
   Mindful eating is the practice of bringing full sensory and interoceptive attention to the experience of eating — noticing hunger and satiety cues, flavors, textures, and emotional drivers of eating — without judgment. Jan Chozen Bays’s work distinguishes nine "hungers" beyond stomach hunger. Evidence for mindful eating is most consistent for reducing binge eating and emotional eating; effects on weight alone are modest and mixed.
3. Identifying the nine hungers before eating
   Before each meal, check which of the nine hungers (eye, nose, mouth, stomach, cellular, mind, heart, touch, water) is actually asking to be fed.

4. Full sensory eating — engaging all five senses at each bite
   Bring sight, smell, sound, touch, and taste fully into each bite before swallowing.
