NowIunderstand's Notizen, 02 Jul 17

i have a friend that called me at 2am yesterday morning for some money to go out. She was obviously inebriated.

She'd invoiced me for some work she did last evening, but unfortunatly, the transfert system was offline last night. I usually pay her as soon as I get her invoice.

needless to say, at two am I was in bed, did not hear the phone.

After her four messages on my voice mail, I emailed her to say that, basically, even if I would've have received her messages, I would have not transferred the money.

I wrote her in my email that to give her $, to go out at two am, with impaired jugements, would have put her in harms way.

it's obvious that she was on a party path and wanted to continue on with the party.

Well, this morning, eating my breakfast, (huge breakfast), I came to the realiz ation that when I don't put down my fork after no longer being hungry, I too am on the party path. The party being in my mouth. And I too, am putting myself in harm's way, by putting my health at risk. (eating too much and being fat is putting oneself at risk)

it's all about the reward circuitry in the brain. We both want enjoy more of what we're enjoying...

So the similiarity of the two situations became clear to me... and I put down my fork.

yay me! lol

It's so hard to change habits that were formed many many (74 for me) years ago.

@Esther / that's why it's so important to start the young'ones in good healthy habits early in life. my life would have been much different had it been the case. But then, in those times, knowledge was much more scare. that's where and when they are being formed. but I see you're doing well anyway! Congrats!

My standard food trick is to put my meal on one of those little dessert plates. And no second helpings. This works extremely well at parties and BBQ's.

@sss = I think you may be on to something. It's an excellent idea for BBQ and parties, where you can't bring a food scale. It may be an excellent idea also for people who do not want to weight their food all the time. Thanks for sharing!
