Cleaning you plate

Yesterday may husband and I were eating out and about half way through my dinner I began to feel full. But I kept eating. I asked myself why am I still eating when I am already full? I think it is that old mind set of "clean you plate". I told myself "it's ok to leave food on your plate". I left a half eaten plate of food and I also left feeling good about myself.

    Good for you, I had written an earlier post pretty much saying the same thing. Growing up most of us had it drilled into our head.
