I have also realized that whenever I eat, I eat pretty quickly instead of chewing slowly and savoring the food. And I also tend to eat and work/study or check my email at the same time(which is very bad for digestion). <br /><br />Well, I guess it's all about one step at a time.<br /><br />First goal, reduce portion size and eat more often!<br /><br />Woohoo..go me!
