Here in the South it seems that cajuns always enjoy a good meal but it seems to end very quickly because of how fast everyone eats. I tend to slow down some when I am at work.....I try to eat as I work----take a bite here and a bite there. Hey, you gotta do what works for you and I find this helps. In fact, sometimes I'll look at the clock and it's already time for my afternoon snack but I haven't finished my lunch yet!!!

I think eating too fast has been my biggest problem. I am done eating before everyone else so I would grab seconds so I wasn't bored waiting for everyone else. I try to drink water or put my fork down between bites but only places where I just can't get up from the table when I am done (family dinners, resturants etc.) at home I usually have most of supper cleaned up before the rest of my family is done eating.
