When Do You Put the Fork down, down, down?\u00a0 How do you know when you are sated?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today, I am going to lay out some simple steps that will help you to STOP EATING!!! (Unless, of course you are legitimately hungry!)\u00a0 But before I do, I want to share with you some personal information!\u00a0 Before I became the voice of Our Lady of Weight Loss, prior to my permanently removed over 50 pounds (10 years gone, gone, gone), I ate until I couldn\u2019t breathe.\u00a0 That\u2019s how I knew I was full.<\/p>\n

Step 1:\u00a0 TUNE INTO that \u201cfull\u201d feeling. <\/strong> When you are one quarter of the way through your meal, come to a FULL STOP!\u00a0\u00a0 And then, go inside and check in with your body.<\/p>\n

Your body is an amazingly intuitive, tuned in, fabulous being in it of itself, without your thoughts getting in its way, weighing it down!\u00a0 So …\u00a0 Get out of your head, and go into your body, and ask, \u201cOn a scale of 1 to 10, how full are you?\u201d\u00a0 (ten being the highest)\u00a0 If you are a 10, ought oh!\u00a0 Put the fork down and push away from the table.\u00a0 If you are at a 2 or 3, eat until you are 1\/2 way through your meal and check in again.\u00a0 Decide what number is comfortable for you, and \u2018study\u2019 it.\u00a0\u00a0 What does it feel like to be ‘sated?’ Not hungry; not full … just right.\u00a0 Where is your just right?\u00a0 Study it!!!\u00a0 Remember it!<\/p>\n

Step 2.\u00a0 SMELL your food.<\/strong> Stop 1\/4 of the way through and smell it.\u00a0 If your food starts to smell unappetizing, say greasy or heavy or bad in any way, that is a signal from your body that you are done!\u00a0 Study that smell!!! Remember it!<\/p>\n

Step 3.\u00a0 How TIGHT are your pants?<\/strong> Pay attention, because your belly does expand as you eat, and if your waistband is tight, you are past full.\u00a0\u00a0 Where do you draw the line?<\/p>\n

Step 4. MASTICATE your food slowly.<\/strong> Remember, it takes 20 minutes for the mind and stomach to catch up.\u00a0\u00a0 You will eat less if you chew slowly and chewing slowly aides digestion.<\/p>\n

Got it?\u00a0 Now follow these steps and let me know where your line is?\u00a0 When do you put the fork down?\u00a0\u00a0 In fact, you can keep on asking yourself, “When do you put the fork down?” And emphasize those words ‘put the fork down,’ as you think them.\u00a0 Say it over and over again and you will effectively be self-hypnotizing yourself to put the fork down!!!<\/p>\n
