Confused At How I Feel After My Fill

[cbreeden28 23]

I do great until I sit down and eat with someone..I try to keep up with them and then I am sorry..I am also left sitting at the table alone, eating cold food...My son suggested that I put only half of what I plan on eating on my plate and heat up the rest when the other is gone. ( basically heat back up in the microwave) Then I will have warm food. When I am alone , I use my phone as a discraction or the TV ...everything against what we teach our kids..But in between bites it helps to surf or gaze at the tube, it slows me down. I think that now a days we are all in such a hurry and that leads to "situations" for Lapers !

No more eating on the run !

^^SAME HERE!! I'm so tired of eating cold food because by the time I'm about done, my dinner is cold and everyone has left the table. Our dining room is right beside the living room and I can see the TV from the table so I use that as a distraction to eat slowly. I also put the fork down between every bite. While I'm feeding my son, this works great because in between my bites I will feed him, but when he's done, I find myself wanting to hurry to get done. I've gotten much better with this though. The worst for me is when I'm really hungry and I try to eat too fast because I'm so hungry. I'm still eating over a cup of food and getting hungry in about 2-3 hours so I know I'm not in the green zone yet. I can't wait for it though!!
