last bite
as you may or may not know. i’m trying to eat a little bit every 3 hours…
as part of this plan, i have to change something that is at the very core of who i am. i must fight the urge to save the best for last.
often, i will save the food i want to eat the most for the last bite and savor it, by eating the filler stuff first… this can lead to heartbreak when i lose the last bite to the forces of gravity. yes that is a sad time. but i can’t figure out the fundamental reasoning behind why i do this? maybe it’s deferred gratification, maybe it’s because meals in the past have been too small?
ideally i’d eat in order of most delicious and then just stop eating when i don’t want to eat anymore, instead of licking the plate clean…
things to ponder…
