Over eater

I found prelogging my meals helped. It forced me to think about "how much" before I actually had a fork in my hand and the rumbling in my tummy. I try to log the whole day in the AM, but at least before I start preparing it.

If you eat with a group at home, another tip I've heard is to leave the food on the counter, dish yourself up, and then go sit down to eat.

I also NEVER eat out of the container. Everything has to be dished out into a bowl sitting on the food scale. Too easily to mindlessly eat otherwise.

It might also help to find a way to remind yourself to stay on plan. A bracelet on a wrist you don't normally wear, a little decorative something or other on the table you usually eat at, that sort of thing. Doesn't have to be obvious to anyone else, just something for you.

Be patient with yourself, don't give up over one bad day (we all have them), and good luck :drinker:
