Sounds like we are on the same page, so to speak, AND reading the same books. The 'pause' concept is what will probably help me the most - if I can just get into the habit of doing it. I tend to graze while cooking dinner and on any given day could eat a meal's worth of calories before sitting down to eat dinner. Maybe I'll make a bunch of labels that say, "Pause and think about it" and stick them to all my grazing foods.
