Well, another valuable lesson my dad taught was in regards to knowing when you have had enough to eat and to not over-eat to such as extent that you felt uncomfortable and regretted eating so much. He did this mainly by example. He ate well, yes, and he enjoyed good food, yes, but he ate slow, savored his food and when his stomach was full *enough*, he stopped eating. Simple strategy? Would seem so. At least that was his attitude. Why is over-eating such a problem with so many people? Hmm.
