Do you still check to see how long it takes you to eat?

Do you calculate the hours between meals from the end of Breakfast, for example, to the beginning of lunch?

Or from the beginning of breakfast to the beginning of lunch? ?

Do you just eat when you're hungry?

Does any of this make sense? LOL

I don't really calculate how long it takes me to eat, and I just eat when I'm hungry, which is usually 3 times a day, sometimes 2, sometimes 4... I just listen to my body now, when before I'd eat all day.

I eat when I'm hungry and it takes however long it takes.

I time nothing, calculate nothing, weigh nothing, measure nothing ........

I try to choose the right types of food, eat when I am hungry, chew my food well and go on with life. The weight still comes off.

I eat when I am hungry and make healthy food choices....always. I try to make every day well-balanced and that seems to work for me. I never feel deprived. I now have absolutely no unhealthy cravings and only crave wholesome/healthy foods.

Some days I have 6-8 healthy meals...other days 3-4. I believe the trick is to eat when you are hungry and not let yourself get so famished that you set yourself up for a binge.

being 2 years post-of, i know my band well enough to know when i need to eat. i know if i eat an entirely high protein meal it will last longer than if i eat carbs or liquids (soups). most of the time you need to rely only on eating when you're hungry BUT you have to make sure you're getting in enough protein too.

I THINK IT DEPENDS ON YOUR PERSONALITY OR LEARNING STYLE....FOR EXAMPLE, I AM A STRUCTERED PERSON OUTSIDE OF EATING....I LIKE TO HAVE A PLAN OR OUTLINE TO FOLLOW WHILE LISTENING TO MY BODY...BUT THIS IS ABOUT RETRAINING YEARS OF DOING IT WRONG, NOT LISTENING TO YOUR BODY, AND NUMBING EMOTIONS WITH FOOD...SO, THAT IS A PROCESS AND WILL TAKE TIME. THE LITERAL PART OF IT, IS EASY....IT'S THE DEEPER MEANING BEHIND YOUR EATING THAT YOU HAVE TO WORK ON.:thumbup:
