How Much Too Much
Jan 03, 2010
Several months after surgery, I was still having trouble with eating too fast. I tried the mini spoons and the smaller bites and the chewing and the and the and yeah get it :PNorthing seemed to work. So after eating my meal, half of it would end up back down the drain. Sure for a while it was only fluids coming out, but eventually solids too. So eat a meal, chuck half of it back up. Ok, so at least something was staying in right? HA!
So my cure came upon me rather quickly, as I was neck deep into the porcelain gods throne, the strangest of strange things from my childhood popped into my head! "How much wood, could a woodchuck, chuck. If a woodchuck, could chuck wood?"
I thought to myself, this is easy! If the little guy was anything like my current situation, then it was HALF. If he could chuck half of what he wanted too, he was doing as well as me! Ok, relax I fell off my rocker years ago.... But this might make sense in the end.
So, the next time this thought came to mind, it was right BEFORE I ate. You catchin on yet? I figured out my own cure lol. If I say this before each meal (to myself of course, or id scare the natives), I would remember the porcelain gods throne, and the horrible stuff it entailed. In turn, I would be more careful about how fast I was eating!
So the next time your neck deep in anything, losing your lunch, consider this. "How much wood, could a woodchuck, chuck. If a woodchuck, could chuck wood?" Then remember to say that to yourself again, before your next meal.
Good Luck and happy chuckin!!
