burrito mishap
Not all things are created equal. Today I went to a Mexican restaurant and ate one normal size plate. But the burrito was HUGE. It was high and stuffed. Didn't eat anything else. Burritos are tricky because they are not flat on the plate, but they stick up. Luckily, I don't eat here often. Found the same to be true with big sub sandwiches. I know I know I should have eaten half. Still working on cooking and eating at home.

You know, I think part of the problem might be that you think the burrito (or sub) was a problem. It may not have been the best choice, but it fit on a plate, right? Be a little gentler with yourself!

I agree, and I think the nice thing about this way of eating is that there is a limited amount of damage you can do at one meal. You don't eat there often, so that is good, but once in a while, if that is what you want, go for it. And maybe you decide to try to eat a light dinner the next night. Or maybe not. For me, what works about this is that there are clear and simple rules, you try to stick to them, and as long as you stick to the rules, you just don't worry about it. I don't know about you, but for me, even if I eat a huge meal, as long as it fits on a plate and I don't have seconds or snacks or sweets, I am still eating a lot less in a day than I used to.
Some exceptions I can imagine in my head are a 2-foot sculpture made of butter. That might fit on a plate. Or a football sized hunk of cream cheese. Yes, those are probably unreasonable. But I think a giant burrito is within the realm of reason.
Good work keep it up!!!!
