Resist Overeating At Dinner!

This Sparked Me!

I know I'm supposed to eat slowly. I know it can take 20 minutes for my brain to register that I'm full. REGARDLESS, I am often hungry after I eat my allotted food at dinner.

The only way I've been able to solve that problem is to LEAVE THE KITCHEN and record my calories on my Spark tracker. In the time it takes me to do that, I feel that feeling of fullness, and I know exactly how many calories I have left for my evening snack. Then back to the kitchen for clean-up duty.

    One problem is this is where we all sit together and chat. Of course the food is still sitting in front of us and we tend to nibble.
At our house we do try to leave the table after we eat our portions.
Having this goal to track the meal right away is a great idea.

    I do that same thing, and over my shoulder as I leave the room I assign the kids to dish detail. HA! It's all good.
