I just found a splendid quotation at the bottom of Slashdot.

For non-slashdotters, it won't be there any more; the quote changes every few minutes. This one seems to lend some wisdom to the diet mentality.

Somehow I reached excess without ever noticing when I was passing through satisfaction. -- Ashleigh Brilliant

That is what I was dealing with last week! I had several red days in a row, and after eating a snack, would realized that I didn't even enjoy it! Felt none of the satisfaction, but all of the excess!

That has been my goal for the past few days, to enjoy my food (to notice the "satisfaction")! Thanks for this quote...I think I will print it out and post it at my desk at work to help remind me!

That quote is sad to me... and it's even sadder to recognize the phenomenon all too well.

Thanks for sharing. It's really a good point.
