I like getting Tandoori Naan bread at Whole Foods. I’ll grab a lot of them so that I can have them as a snack. I’ll usually eat two pieces of the bread; each piece of bread is a serving. Probably the first or second time I ate them, I was either not quite full and figured that one more piece should satisfy me, or my brain greedily said to myself ‘get one more piece, cuz it’s that good’. Who knows. I was just now thinking over that while eating a piece of bread, subsequently eating a bit slower than usual, since I was a bit lost in thought instead of immediately going back to work, munching away while typing one-handed. While thinking all of that over, I noticed that by the end of the first piece my stomach was satisfied, since my brain probably actually got the signal from my stomach on its fullness before I had started in on the 2nd piece. Instead of setting the 2nd piece aside, saving it for this evening, I instead (and of course) ate it. And of course, by the end of it, I was definitely full. I don’t think that I even have a 50/50 average on talking myself out of stuff, food or anything else, that I don’t really need. I probably have the same average for talking myself into stuff that would be good for me.
