Because most of us work, we eat when we are told to eat. Whether we are hungry or not, if the office lunch hour is noon, then we must eat at noon or go without food until they tell us we can go home. In other words, we eat out of habit, not because we need to eat. I would like to tell people to imagine themselves thin and beautiful, and to keep that image in the mind and recall it once a day, most likely in the morning. If you get hungry you should chew gum.
Some people just like to chew things.
I have noticed that if you eat your meals away from the T.V. and other distracting places that you will enjoy your meal better and will take a little longer to eat the meal. Also drink at least 2 glasses of water or one glass of milk during your meal and you will feel fuller causing you to not go back for seconds. If you love yourself and have confidence in yourself then it will shine through and people will comment on how you sparkle. If you eat late at night and then go to bed, all the food that is eaten turns into fat. The body's metabolism slows down immensely while it is sleeping.
