i struggle with chewing thoroughly - basically i forget to do it, because i have been eating quickly for most of my life. chewing at least 30 times should be the minimum - that will further reduce the amount of food needed until satiety. another trick someone told me is putting the eating utensils down for the duration of chewing.

i talk about it, forgive myself, and commit to doing better next time.
