I just finished my breakfast portion and my body is calling out, “More!” Intellectually I know I have had enough. If I listen to my inner self I can tell that my body is trying to deceive me. Today I had another victory and ignored that inner voice.
The thing I miss while working on my eating is not a particular food but the feeling of satiation. You see, I can eat anything I want. Yes, I am diabetic, but it is on a level that if I follow common sense and show moderation I can eat anything. I just can’t eat as much as I want. The is the rub. I want to supersize and finish every crumb. I look on all-you-can-eat as a challenge. I act like leftovers are a sin.
But I can’t follow the inclination of my appetite. A good motivation is to think of insulin syringes. Another reason not to keep eating is so that I can keep my eyes and feet. I have fought the good fight for several years and don’t plan on giving up.
But those pastries and breakfast sandwiches keep calling to me.
