What causes you to stop eating? No...it is not always because you are stuffed. In the book Eating the Moment, the author gives the following list of some of the reasons people stop eating:
1. You run out of the food you like.
2. You run out of time.
3. You are bursting at the seams.
4. the entertainment comes to an end. (The show you've been snacking to has ended.)
5. You are "emotionally" full. (Now that your stomach is full, you no longer feel empty inside)
6. Your plate is finally clean.
7. You are overeating and get busted by your partner.
8. You got your money's worth.
Today and tomorrow: when you have finished eating, give some thought to why you stopped -- and then take the extra step of writing that insight down. You may be suprised at what kind of pattern you see developing.
