When I start feeling greedy about it, I just remind my "inner elephant" that there will be more cake in our future, oh yes...yes, there will.
That helps me relax and savor every crumb.
Pleasure is an important ingredient. lol

Like you mention about keeping the keys of the bus out of Elifant's hands .... the trick (for me) of managing IGM is redirect / make things a "game" wherever possible. Eg. "we play Go For The Green together" every morning (pre-logging) so that IGM can make space for the snack that is coming .... getting steps in is mostly by wii exergame ... sufficient steps gets IGM closer to "mayyyybe EXTRA activity credits .... that THAT means a bit bigger evening snack! (monkey-spins and cartwheels with excitement)
Now that I am (only) half-way through my second back-at-the-office week, so not "available to play" as often .... (aka to avoid procrastination) "calling it a game" also works for keeping my whole brain focused on "boring-to-IGM" work-tasks too eg if I use colour-fill or cell-formatting in a spreadsheet to mark follow-up information.

@BMcC9 I love that you make it a game with your inner Elifant - that's a pretty neat idea! 0
