Eating slowly really does seem to be a major key in eating less. I
don't like to feel sick when I'm done eating so don't gorge. At least
not any more. I tended to do that when I was younger and simply learned
not to do it.

Snarfing your food does not give your stomach a chance to feel satiated
until it's too late. ;-)

It can be learned behavior.
