Story: I Will Stop When I Get Full

How was it then?

There is a particular noodle dish that I liked, but restaurants always served too many noodles and too much broth. I could never finish all of it. And I always felt full after eating about half of the serving, but I never stopped there. I always kept on eating, one more bite, then another. Eventually, I would get to the point of actual bursting and I couldn’t eat another bite. But even though I had already figured out that I was full about ten bites before that, and even though I was having a conversation in my head about the fact that I was full and should stop eating, I could not stop eating.

How is it now?

I eat my portion of food and it is enough. I never get that feeling of being too full, and I don’t have to try to apply the brakes in the middle of a meal.
