My husband and I went out to eat last night. We don't eat out often, so this was a real treat for us. We went to an Italian restaurant; a place we had never been. The food was delicious. I ordered veal toscana, which is veal with vegetables smothered in an unbelievably delicious sauce over angel hair spaghetti. The portion size was quite large. Our meal also came with yummy, yummy, yummy garlic yeast rolls. Oh my. What's a girl to do? So much wonderful food. So little room in my tummy.
I decided to eat slowly, enjoying every bite. It didn't take long. I began to feel full after having eaten only about a quarter of my meal. Everything within me wanted to keep eating, and truthfully, I did take four or five bites too much, before I was able to 'wrestle' my desires to eat anyway to the ground and ask for a carry out container.
I had to make myself think about the fact that this succulent meal will taste just a good for lunch today as it did last night. In fact, it will taste better because I won't be full while I'm eating it. There is enough food left from me to have about 3 more meals. Yum!!!!
Mental gymnastics. That's it. It's all about how I allow things food related to be framed in my mind. I think this is one of the major components to food control in our lives. Anyway I made it through another challenging moment and have delicious leftovers today as a reward!
