Apparently, food tastes just as good in small portions as it does in way-too-big portions, who knew? Not me.

A lot of my eating problems come from food scarcity during childhood/teenager years so one of my bad habits is to EAT IT ALL.

Thank goodness, food scarcity is no longer an issue for me and my family. But it’s still hard wired that I need to eat as much as I can out of meals. It’s taken a year or so after realizing that to getting to the point of managing that I’m at now.

Tonight is chili night. I fucking love chili and cornbread and I consider it mid range healthy. Instead of filling my bowl and grabbing four cornbread pieces, I got just a small portion of both and happily ate it knowing that I can have some more later.

It’s a wonderful feeling that I get to look forward to chili TWICE today because I planned and portioned to basically have my dinner twice. And I’m not overeating. This is so much more satisfying than eating a huge bowl in one sitting.
