TOMORROW'S post (day 21 - Saturday) is up early as we're travelling from Sweden on Saturday and won't have net access.
Try the half-off special! When it comes to indulging, eat half as much as you normally would, or take half of the amount you want. Try adding a piece of fruit / salad / veggies to meals that have been halved to "complete" them. You could also save the food for two hours and decide then if you wanted the other half. Half-off works especially well at banquets or buffets that involve several courses. It can also help to determine portion sizes before eating (for example, 2 slices of pizza).
The "half-off" concept may feel awkward and sometimes unsatisfying, and if you can't stop yourself finishing the food off, it could be that you're trying to fill an emotional void.
TASKS:
1. Divide several of your food items in half, then eat only that much
2. Do this half-off special with at least five foods
3. Record the foods you ate, noting how it felt to leave half of the food behind

It's difficult to do this one right now because when I dish up my meals I only have half a plateful of the main meal and then fill it up with green veges.0
