A humbling midnight realization

[Guest guest]

I've been reading all I could find about IE, and thought I was doing pretty

well, eating when hungry, not outlawing anything, and so on. But.

I've been eating X bars because I did not want them to be a forbidden food. Only

I just realized that what I want is an X bar and a glass of milk, as opposed to

what I have been doing instead is eating a moderate dinner, or lunch, then

having an X bar. As sensible as this may be in some ways, it is not at all

sensible in terms of legalizing the X bars. So I just ate an X bar and milk. And

I may have the same for breakfast tomorrow, if that is what I want. What I won't

do anymore is eat something " sensible " and then follow up with what I want!

I " knew " this intellectually already, I could have quoted different authors on

the concept, and even some of the research, but what floors me is that I didn't

know it.
