[Contented Reader]

Food: under 1200. My strategy at restaurants is to eat half of what I'm served, then pause and asses how I'm feeling. Have a little water. Often, I realize I don't even want any more, and am only eating because it's there. When I'm done, I put my napkin over the plate as a reminder that I'm done.
