Eyes bigger than my stomach

This is much harder than I thought. I always knew I loved to eat a lot, but I didn’t realize how much food I went through when I wasn’t even hungry anymore. It’s a complete shift of mindset for me. Sunday was the first day of this week that I set about on my goal of not wasting any food on my plate and not putting anymore on my plate than I needed. On Sunday, I messed up. I went into the cafeteria and saw French toast and couldn’t help but grab not only more than I needed but more than I could even handle eating. I didn’t waste it though. I ate every bite and then ate a lot less for dinner. I learned my lesson. From that point forward I only put on my plate a reasonable amount of food. I think this goal is wonderful not only because it will reduce food waste and excess, but also because it makes me think about what I’m eating. All the time. Again, electricity is much easier than my food goal, as long as I can remember to make the changes. It doesn’t require much of a sacrifice for me. I’ve found if my room is too dark without lights on to work, I can get things done outside and enjoy myself. I just have to remember to turn my laptop off when I don’t need it soon. Water is a little tough. I miss long hot showers. To make up for this, I’ve decreased my quantity of showers rather than the length once I have one (don’t tell!). I’ve started taking sponge baths to get myself clean. The dryer day planning is coming along. A facebook event should be up in a few days.
