Here's something that has worked well>
I used to take all my meals while watching TV, a nice way to wind down or just not think for a while ;) But, I noticed that when I do that, I start mindlessly eating, and before I know it, the plate's empty, and I'm ready to reach for something else, since I don't feel quite satisfied. So instead, I've been consciously (it's hard to break the habit) not turning on the TV and instead just having a pure meal time, where I get to take the time to actually notice and savor the unique texture and flavors of the food. It helps when I made the dish myself.
Ever remark how good free samples of food at grocery stores taste, even though it may be something as plain as a bite of bread, or as convenience-oriented as a microwaved dish? When I take those, I savor and think about the food, so even a bite of frozen lasagne tastes like a million bucks.
