About pausing before you eat
How long should I wait?
Long enough to leave autopilot. This check is aimed at about 15 seconds — Not now is for riding the peak a bit longer.
Is this the same as mindful eating?
Related idea, smaller scope. We only interrupt the decision spike — not a full meal practice.
What should I choose after the check?
Skipped it, Not now, Smaller portion, or Ate it anyway — all count if you decided on purpose. There is no wrong button.
What if I already started eating?
Still useful next time. Add the site to your Home Screen so it opens before the next urge.
