EATING LIKE A THIN PERSON
Before you eat, ask yourself how hungry you are on a scale from 1 to 10 - 1 representing a growling stomach and 10 representing the stuffed, bloated, I-think-I'm-going-to-die-feeling often experienced after Thanksgiving dinner. Eat only when you rate your hunger a 1 or 2. Then stop when you reach 5.
