No I’m not talking about somone stealing your lunch out of the break-room fridge, I’m talking about eating amnesia, which can certainly thwart our weight loss goals. While they do make plastic bags that give the appearance of moldy food to deter someone from snagging your sandwich, I’m unaware of a product that will help us avoid forgetting that we ate something. I should invent it. In the meantime, if you are constantly asking yourself, “Did I eat lunch yet today?” or “Who ate the other 1/2 of my sandwich?” and so on, then you may suffer from eating amnesia. It may be worth your while to assess whether multi-tasking while eating is distracting you from paying attention to what ,or how much, you are eating. Some of the most common distractions from paying attention to food are: watching TV, reading, working through a lunch break (especially eating during meetings), driving, feeding kids, cleaning the house, and even talking on the phone. I know I can’t eat while driving; I pay no attention to the food. Are there any distractions that get in the way of you practicing mindful eating ?
