Only using wine glasses for drinks

ChelleTrell

I just noticed this evening that I’ve been using my wine glasses for all my drinks lately. My wine glass holds 8oz when poured to the rim. I think it’s a psychological thing where I feel like I’m getting a really full glass. As opposed to one of my regular drinking glasses where 8oz doesn't look like very much. Also, I tend to sip drinks slower and really enjoy them when I’m drinking from a wine glass. Maybe its because that’s how I drink wine? Just now I literally sipped on a wine glass of GoodBelly Mango over the course of an hour as if it was some kind of dessert wine or something.

Anyways I thought it was interesting and was wondering if anyone else found themselves doing something like this.

Lots of diet tips include using smaller plates and bowls so this is another example.

I am a big fan of doing whatever works.

I agree to the above. Many tips for healthy eating revolve around eating (and drinking) mindfully - planning and scheduling meals, composing appetizing meals, using pretty dishes/napkins/candles, sitting down to eat, eating together in a relaxed athmosphere, eating slowly, savouring the colors and flavors. It used to sound woo-ey to me, but I understand now that it's not in itself enough to stop you from overeating, but to get satisfaction from enough.

One of the biggest changes I made when I started was to stop eating while working and allow myself to have a proper lunch period. I don't need a full hour but I shoot for 40 minutes each day. I have no idea how many calories and the resulting fat I now carry comes from eating quickly and/or distracted but it has to be way too much. If I am going to be forced to pay attention to the amount of calories to lose weight I should pay full attention to eating them too.

I don't do any of the other tricks (like small dishes or candles) but I probably should consider some of them as I am sure I could stand to slow down a little more.

I drink my pre-workout out of a wine class. For class.

I suppose I should have put more “hahahas” or “lols” in my original post. I just thought it was pretty funny that I naturally started doing this. Sipping on juice like a fine wine? Idk I think it’s pretty funny. I guess I assumed I would get more silly responses like “oh I use the same plate for weighing food every meal and didn’t realize it until it broke and I drove to target to get a new one... weird” or “at work they always buy the same cake for birthdays so I took a piece home and weighed it just so I would know how many cals to log during office celebrations”

I'd rather have the wine than juice.
