Yeah, I should definitely try drinking a glass of water at the end of the meal. Brushing my teeth would help with the tendency for greens to get caught in my teeth and remain there for hours until I finally notice them, having been out in public the whole time.

S Day
You can't fail on an S Day, so I guess I won't post success or failure. But it was relaxing not to have to manage myself. I wouldn't say I "went wild," though I overate somewhat, and I noticed that it created a feeling of fatigue, so it made me not want to overeat again. Later in the day, I was still full, and although there was an opportunity to eat things that normally are very appealing to me, I just didn't *want* to eat.
It was nice, since in the previous iterations of myself, it would have been more like, "Well, I overate earlier, so today's ruined anyway, and I'm never going to do this again (or not for a very long time, in any case), so I should get the treats while I can." Instead, it was like, "I've felt crappy ever since I overate, and the last thing I want to do is eat more." So I think that's a nice change. I think it's the awareness that this is not the only day I can have treats, that every weekend, I will have a chance to indulge if I would like a treat. So the draw to eat like crazy because "from now on, I will never indulge again" is gone.
I'm not feeling even remotely drawn to treats today (well, I'm snacking on some unsweetened carob powder, which really hits the spot for some peculiar reason), although it's still nice to be more relaxed about just eating with the S Day exemption. It's nice to not have to worry whether I'm putting enough on the plate to hold me over til the next meal.
