Wellness Tip of the Day No. 38: Eat With Awareness

Paying attention to how you eat helps you become aware of how much you eat. Think about these questions to become more aware of your eating style.

•    Do you always eat on the run or when you’re driving?
•    Are you a fast or slow eater?
•    Do you eat what is served or pay attention to your hunger?
•    Do you take large or small bites of food?
•    What do you typically eat first? Vegetable, protein or starch?
•    Do you go back for seconds if a food tastes good regardless of your hunger level?
•    Do you wait until you are overly hungry before eating?
•    Do you set aside a time and place to eat or continue what you’re doing (watching television, talking on the phone, working, etc.)
