Take Half Away

Looking at the pictures of my meals I notice that I'm not eating a lot of vegetables.

So tonight in addition to my teriyaki chicken (with salad) I also order a vegetable dish (with salad).

Was hungry. Bought a slice of pizza and did not take half away. Made a conscious decision to eat it all.

Had some juice with it.

Went for a 3 mile run (!) then had a beer and ate the other half of my breakfast.

Was perfectly satisfied.

Went to the diner again for breakfast.

Had scrambled eggs with ham, hash browns, and toast.

Ate half and felt full, took away the other half.

Did not finish my large glass of water.

Had BBQ chicken flatbread for dinner.

Brought my to-go container with me and put half away.

After eating, blood sugar is low, will probably eat the other half now.

Drank all my water.

Went to a diner for breakfast.

Had eggs, sausage, hash browns, toast.

Saved half, which I ate later for lunch.

Had dinner at a jazz club: veggie wraps and lasagna.

Did not bring my to-go container, and I ate all of my portions.

Still, did not overeat.

Had late night cheeseburger and fries at Dick's Drive-In, ate all of it.

Honestly, probably didn't need to eat any of it.

Didn't have breakfast today.

For lunch, ordered burger and fries, put half away.

Used more ketchup than usual, and drank all my water.

Did not overeat, felt satisfied.

Had the rest later in the afternoon.

This is a 30-day lifestyle challenge.

Part 1: Immediately set aside half of your portion in a to-go container.

Eat what remains. See what happens.

Are you still hungry? Are you satisfied? Do you feel full, or too full?

Did you eat faster or slower? Did you use more condiments? Did you drink all your water?

Feel free to eat the other half now if you want.

Part 2: When dining out, bring a reusable container instead of asking for a disposable container.
