i eat really, really quickly. it's a little embarrassing when i scarf down my food before everyone else! i blame it on teaching because i end up with 12-15 minutes to each my lunch. it's actually hilarious when i'm out with teacher friends and we're all done with our food in minutes!
i need to work on slowing down so i can tell when i'm full instead of having eater's remorse after inhaling my food.
how about you? do you eat quickly?

I'm the slowest eater ever. Sometimes I stop eating not because I'm full, but because I'm tired of chewing because it takes me so long.

I do eat quickly. It wasn't always this way but my DH is the fastest eater on earth so when we go out i learned to try to keep up with him.

I've always been a fast eater but after having LO I eat super fast bc usually I am tending to him or feeding him at the same time! I agree, it can be embarrassing when I'm out with friends or at work where I don't have to eat fast, people always say wow you eat fast!

If I'm starving, it goes down the hatch a bit too fast! But I'd say I'm about average depending on what I'm eating and with who.

@artbee: same here. I have mild TMJ so my jaw gets tired really easily.

Super fast! I can finish eating sometimes in 10-15 min. without even being in a rush.

I am now now that I have kids. I can't remember the last time I actually enjoyed my food! *sigh*

I'm fast!! I'm always the first one finished! Not anymore though because when we go out LO always screams so I have to console her until someone else can take over.

@erwoo: me too.. Always shoveling the food in since I'm multitasking or feeding the kids at the same time. I went to lunch with a work mommy friend a while ago and we were seriously both shoveling it in. And then we said wait.. Why are we doing this? No kids here let's SLOW down and enjoy our food, hahaha!

I'm really slow. I'm always the last one finished. If it's just DH and me, he's usually done before I'm even halfway through.

@T-Mom: LOL! Seriously... And sometimes I'll just eat over the sink b/c I don't have time to sit down and use a plate. This usually only applies to sandwiches though!

I used to eat super slow. Even after being surrounded by lightning fast eaters for a year, it still didn't change me. Until DD. She broke me down and now I actually inhale my food! Now that she's a little older, I realize how much more I'm eating and how (at times) I'm not even enjoying my food like I used to. I'm finally at the stage where I *think* I can eat a little more slowly and actually taste my food again.

Super fast, I can eat in less than 5 minutes if I'm not paying close attention. I have to try and concentrate really hard to eat slowly, hate it. My Mom on the other hand can take an hour to eat, lol.

I was pretty average before A was born but now I'm pretty sure I don't even chew, lol. Odds are she'll wake up with a few minutes of me sitting down so I know to gobble gobble.

I used to be a very slow eater, but now I'm pretty fast. I usually beat DH. My mom is a slow eater and it drives me nuts. I just can't understand how someone can take so long to eat. MIL is a slow eater as well, but that's only because she never shuts up long enough to chew.

I think I'm on the slower end because I always finish my food last compared to the hubby, or when we're out with friends.

I eat super fast! I have gotten a lot faster since having LO because I never know how long she'll let me eat. Sometimes DH will take her and let me eat slower. Usually though, I'm done before he's even halfway done.

I have always eaten super fast. I try to slow down, but it just doesn't happen.

Digustingly fast. If I want to feed myself and DS, I have to get it in while I can.

DH and I are both pretty fast eaters. We were at a wedding reception once and other people commented on it...it was embarrassing.
