When I get hungry, I usually take more food than I could
finish. With all the food in front of
me, I start devouring it like a hungry lion attacking and mauling its
prey. .
Half way done with my food I realize, oh shoot I took way too much and
now I can’t finish it…. That’s when I
feel guilty for taking way to much food.
I regret taking so much and should have gotten a smaller potion. When it comes to buffets, I go crazy. My goal is filling up my plate with as much
food as it can handle, and usually I don’t clean off my plate before I get up
and grab another plate.
It’s
true when they say that your eyes are bigger than your stomach. Your stomach is the size of 2 of your
fists. That’s not big at all, but your
stomach can stretch and become wider and wider.
Your eye on the other hand has this illusion of how one pancake is not
enough or a 12oz steak is too small. As you start eating you realize that what
you have is indeed a lot of food that you can’t eat anymore. It’s like your eyes are deceiving you and
make you feel like what you have is not enough.
Sometimes
we don’t want to waste food especially with so much food that is left on the
plate. So we begin to stuff ourselves
and keep eating so we don’t waste food.
That’s not a good idea because that stretches your stomach making your
stomach bigger and makes you have a bigger appetite later on. Simply just take it home with you and eat it
later when you’re hungry, it might not taste as good but at least you’re not
wasting food.
A tip
to prevent you from overeating or over getting food is choosing a smaller plate
to put your food on. I always use a
salad plate when I am eating so I know that I am not trying to fill up my
plate. It also gives you an idea of how
much you should be eating and to not overeat.
Getting
smaller portions and knowing your stomach is key to not wasting food and
prevent your eyes from deceiving your stomach.
