I've been trying to focus on the conditioned responses that reinforce destructive eating behaviors. Today I tried again to eat without reading, but didn't get very far. I'll keep working on it, though. It is amazing what food tastes like when you pay attention! For instance, I didn't realize how gritty raisins are!
Measuring is also a challenge. Today I measured at breakfast and lunch, and even snacks. But supper was a challenge again as I only managed to measure the meat and not the rest of the meal.
One of the techniques that has been hard for me in the past is stopping eating when I'm full. Can't seem to manage that yet. It's the old "clean plate" reward that is getting in the way, I think. I've countered it in the past with a promise to myself that I can always eat it later, then put it into the refrigerator. I need to go back to that tactic, I think.

Put it in the fridge -turn away and don't look back.
