I hope I am not overwhelmed with food like this on my vacation! Since beginning at Weight Watchers last fall, I have lost over 25 pounds. I am happy about this, but also know from past experience how easily I can over-eat on vacations. I am hoping that I will keep in mind what Geneen Roth wrote in her newest book Women, Food and God: An Unexpected Path to Almost Everything:THE Eating Guidelines
- Eat when you are hungry
- Eat sitting down in a calm environment. This does not include the car.
- Eat without distractions. Distractions include radio, television, newspapers, books, intense or anxiety-producing conversations or music.
- Eat what your body wants.
- Eat until you are satisfied.
- Eat (with the intention of being) in full view of others.
- Eat with enjoyment, gusto and pleasure.
I hope I can live this way.

I have her book with these guidelines in them. I'm printing them out RIGHT NOW to take to NC with me!! Now if only I'll remember to read it every time I go to eat something :)
all good suggestions!
i've really found the roth book helpful and thought-provoking. i'll read it again, more slowly, after i can wrest it back from my sister. (heh.) i always have problems with the 'eating without distraction' guideline; it's always more fun to read or watch a dvd, but then i'm out of touch with how much i'm eating.
