   • 1980, Glenn, But I Don't Eat That Much, page 38:

     […] physicians, dieticians,^[sic] teachers, and many others can assist you in the insight-gaining process, but you will be able to develop much of it yourself if you are willing to do so. Being aware of why you are miseating is a requirement in controlling this miseating.

   • 1989, Ann Kaiser Stearns, Coming Back, page 96:

     Have low-calorie snacks such as raw vegetables, hot air-cooked popcorn, diet gelatin, apples, grapefruit, and sugar-free products on hand at all times and avoid having high-calorie foods readily available. […] When you "miseat" for one or more days, do not feel overly guilty about these episodes.
