Eating Slowly Method #1
Method to be Tested. Use chopsticks or small utensils for eating.
How to do it. Simply use chopsticks or smaller than normal utensils to consume each meal and snack every day for a 3-week time period. You can use a salad/small version of a fork/spoon or you can be extreme like me and buy toddler-sized utensils. I have no shame. Plus, they are cute with teal and pink handles.
Dates for Implementation. Tuesday, February 14 to Tuesday, March 6.

Now, let's get eating...slowly...
Good luck with eating slowly! I already use tiny utensils (my spork, hm) because the large ones don't fit into my lunchbox. And I'm Chinese, so chopsticks are pretty much a given for me. Love them.
ReplyDeleteI love using chopsticks and small spoons with long handles (think ice cream parlor style). Large utensils just feel cumbersome to me!
ReplyDeleteOoh yes, the ice cream spoons are fun - I do the same thing with iced tea spoons!
Deleteyes! i have an ice tea spoon that i often eat yogurt with. i think that will certainly get used these next weeks!
DeleteHahaha I love those utensils!!!!
ReplyDeleteI tried to eat with chopsticks last year in an effort to eat more slowly. Problem was, I am so inept with chopsticks that I ended up eating too slowly to the point that 2/3 of my food would be ice cold by the time I got to it!!
Happy Valentine's day!
haha yeah cold food is no good either. hard to find a balance i guess sometimes....
Deleteawww how cute are those?!?!
ReplyDeleteAww, the baby utensils are so cute. I definitely eat slower when I use chopsticks (like for sushi or thai food) but I'd definitely feel strange using them on fries or lasagna, etc...hah!
ReplyDeletehaha yeah that's why i figured i couldn't only use chopsticks!
DeleteAw, such cute little utensils :-) I have a little spoon (I think it was supposed to be used on an appetizer plate, like for serving olives) and I love using it to eat ice cream, because then my ice cream lasts longer!
ReplyDeleteAwww! Baby forks! So cute! I want a baby spoon to eat ice cream with now...but, I would also need ice cream...hmmmm ;p
ReplyDeleteChopsticks do help to eat slower, that's for sure. They sure help me when eating stirfries or sushi. But I've never thought of trying smaller utensils - gotta give that a go!
ReplyDeleteyeah, thing is though - i fear i may be pretty good at chopsticks! we shall see....
DeleteI am using a combination of trying to stretch my meals out for 15-20 minutes along with putting my fork down after each bite. It takes a bit of effort but is working and I am enjoying my food more
ReplyDeletei think for me too it will be a combination of 'methods'. it really is nice to know that i am not the only one who struggles with this though....
DeleteThose utensils are too cute! I have a tendency to rush through my food, too. I hadn't thought of using smaller utensils to slow that down... interested to see what your results are!
ReplyDeleteI always use small utensils! I prefer them, for some reason.
ReplyDeleteThese ones are adorable!
Good luck with the challenge. I can't wait to hear the results.
you are so darn cute! i cant wait to hear how this goes!
