Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I inhale my food standing up or staring at a screen and barely taste it
- With the serving bowls sitting right there on the table I just keep absentmindedly spooning out more without ever deciding to
- I instinctively fill the plate and then feel I have to finish it, so a sensible portion always looks sad and skimpy and leaves me feeling deprived
- I’ll look down and the plate is empty and I barely remember tasting any of it
- My meals just bleed into whatever I was doing
