Why can’t I restrain myself when I go to an all you can eat place?

It’s like my mind short circuits. I go into goldfish mode, and I eat until I’m ready to burst.

So much food.

It was sushi.

I have a weakness for it.

I need a better strategy the next time I go to one of those places.

I should have only ordered a few dishes at a time.

But I got greedy.

And my eyes were bigger than my stomach.

Although at the end of it, my stomach was pretty big.

I stopped before it was too late.

But even then, it was too much.

I was four and a half pounds heavier this morning.

After that meal.

I didn’t even have room for dessert.

Now, that’s saying something.

I usually get a fried banana and sesame seed balls.

Not this time.

I was still full when I woke up this morning.

Having a strategy…

I like that idea.

So, the next time, maybe I’ll only order four or five things at a time.

Instead of ten or twelve things.

It’s a good strategy.

But will I remember it the next time I’m faced with all those delicious options…?
