Do you have to be doing other things while you eat?? Maybe you are working on the computer while you have lunch, or eat your breakfast while driving in to work. Dinner in front of the TV, maybe?
The problem with this behavior is that you are not focusing on the food you eat and it is less likely that you will feel satisfied and will possible overeat because of it.
This is a habit that is harder to break because it seems so innocent. What could it possibly hurt? I am getting things done while I eat after all. (Studies show that productivity at work goes waaay down when you work at your desk!)
First move away from the distraction. Eat at the table or on the patio at this time of year and enjoy the peacefulness. Finding that moment away from the distractions of your world and enjoying a meal can be very uplifting and mind clearing.
Even if you only take 10 or 15 minutes away from your desk, or get up fifteen minutes earlier to eat. It is healthier, and safer if driving! You will realize you did eat, and it tasted great. (especially if you use recipes on this blog!)
