No, it is not constraints.  It is my appetite and history of eating too fast!  I like the fancy napkin idea.  Making dinner more of a "special event" sounds like a good plan.  If it takes longer to set up, then I may have more luck in slowing down to enjoy my food more.

I like all of your ideas for challenge posts.

I still need to do the 2nd homework.  I plan to do it as a journal entry on my profile.  I think it will put a lot in perspective for me.

great idea on the carrots, wonko!!!  Ohhh .. and I wasn't feeling guilty .. just wanted you to explain my heart was there .. just not my time.  (((Hugs)))

Oh .. and completely understand the emotional eating thing .. that is what took hold over the holidays and it is something I've come to understand will be with me for a lifetime .. it's just my coping skills and choices that keep improving each time.  However .. I never expect perfection.

As for eating too quickly .. I'll share a little trick.  If you get a really nice and pretty smaller plate and eat with a real napkin and make it special .. make it an experience and really attempt to taste each bite of food and savour the flavors .. you will tend to slow down on eating.  We just tend to be too busy sometimes and eating quickly gets to be a habit.  Is it time constraints for you?
