Overate but took ownership of it!

[Guest guest]

Today, I took my boys to Taco Bell, something in the past I would avoided at all

costs. On

the way there my kids got me aggravated. They were doing to normal fighting,

" he's looking

at me thing. " Anyway, I walked into TB totally annoyed and ate way too much!

I'm not proud

of eating too much but am proud of the dialogue I was having with myself as I

was doing it. I

acknowledge that I was eating too much, that I was full, and that if I continued

to eat it was

by choice and not by failure to stop. I should also mention that I did allow

myself to go way

beyond hungry so that didn't help at all. Tonight I'm planning on making a

spaghetti and

meatball dinner from the Barefoot Contessa and am excited about it. My plan,

even though

overeating took place this afternoon, is to finish when I'm satisfied. By more

importantly to

be conscious of how much I'm eating and what I'm eating. I'm hope this

experience will help

me adjust to the IE way of life.

P.S. I should note that I'm feeling extra full and yucky from lunch, which is

confirming that I

should have stopped. I will be making sure not to start eating until I'm hungry

though!
