Flashes of Panic

My running log advises me that if I want to lose weight, I should eat more slowly. The idea is that if I give my body a chance to register that it’s full, I would stop eating sooner.

Their suggestion to slow my pace down is to “converse more at the table.” Anyone who’s eaten with me knows this is not an issue, but Iz hasn’t been holding up his end of the conversations recently.

My alternate strategy: I’ve been eating as many meals as possible with chopsticks. I’m actually developing chopstick calluses.
