Everyone tells you to eat slowly and chew, chew, chew! There are all kinds of tactics - use baby silverware, eat off small plates, count bites and time how long food is chewed, etc. Most of the time this is not an issue. You just kind of get into the habit and it becomes 2nd nature.
Well tonight at dinner I experienced my 1st real reminder of why we have to eat so slowly. I was both hungry and excited about the dish I made so I forgot to chew enough. I felt it right away and then sat there for the next 15+ minutes trying to breathe and will my food to go DOWN rather than come back up. Luckily I'm ok now and I didn't end up throwing up.
I definitely don't think I'll be making that mistake again!
