Well, what I really mean is Look at your Food as you eat it. Keep as much of the evidence in front of you.
If it is chocolate bars you are eating, keep the wrappers to remind yourself that you are on the 3rd. Just a little nudge to tell you that you have had enough, for our stomachs don't measure calories.
We eat with our eyes. If we use a small plate, and it is filled to the brim, then we eat happily. The same portion on a giant trencher makes us feel disappointed and neglected. And same again, in the eat all you can stuff your face with buffets, the vision is so exciting we fill our plates time and time again. And until 20 minutes is up, our stomachs don't signal that we are full. And if we are eating fast, by that time we are already tightly bagged up. (I like this expression very much, I heard it first from my rather posh sister-in-law.)
Brian Wansink (what a hero) did some research on students. inviting them to a chicken wings supper. Those whose plates were cleared away ate more than those where the bone heap grew before them as they munched (they ate 28% less). As Brian says, "If you could look back and see all of the handfuls of potato chips you’ve already gobbled before shoveling in another, you’d likely hesitate before reaching back into the bag".
To help you lose weight, try hypnosis and get these suggestions deeply embedded.
