this has been a game changer for me! I, like many people here, used to have a tendency to go on a bit of a rampage through my kitchen cabinets every night and it completely offset the day’s progress. so now after dinner - or really any meal for that matter - I make myself wait at least 15 minutes before going back for more food. I remind myself that this doesn’t mean I have to be done eating for the day, but it just means I need to take a pause.
of course this is easier said than done, so I give myself a task to pass the time. an easy one is to just clean up the kitchen from said meal, but if I didn’t cook then I try to find something else around the house. tidy my room, do a load of laundry or fold clothes, take out the garbage, etc. by the time the 15 minutes is over, i’m usually not hungry anymore. or if I am, then I listen to my body and eat another small portion. this is been such a huge mental shift for me and it’s worked wonders in my progress!
best of luck to you all x
