Good Job, Me!

I realize this sounds like total common sense, but I can't tell you how often this story would have turned out differently.

I got pizza tonight.  I was running late for lunch and didn't get to eat.  (I had to proctor a standardized test for our graduating seniors today).  So I was starving by the time I got it home.  And I loaded my plate up.  But after eating a couple of pieces, I realized I really wasn't hungry for the piece still on my plate.

So I put it back.  I didn't force myself to eat it.  I didn't give in to the pressure to clean my plate.  I stopped, because I wasn't hungry anymore.

Apparently, 40 does come with new-found wisdom.  :)

Sadly, it also seems to come with a decreased metabolism.  :(
