Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I only ever notice I’ve eaten too much once I’m already uncomfortably stuffed and a little sluggish
- I’ll look down and the plate is empty and I barely remember tasting any of it
- I eat almost every meal staring at a screen, and I’ll suddenly look down to find the plate empty with no memory of tasting any of it
- Noting has become second nature and now I’m curious about the one doing the noticing itself
- I wolf my food down and only realize I’m stuffed once I’m uncomfortably past full
