One of the things that I am trying to remain discipline in doing is controlling the amount of food I consume at one time. This can be difficult for someone like me because eating is one of my favorite past times. (As a matter of fact, I am thinking about what I want to eat right now.) I realized a while ago, that I need to stop eating when I feel myself getting full. When I reach the point where I am "stuffed", it's too late.

How many times have you consumed more than you should and you knew that you probably should have stopped sooner? If you were raised like I was, you were taught to consume everything in front of you before you left the table. Unfortunately, this is the same message that popular culture is promoting as well. Consume all that you see in front of you. But when is it appropriate to stop?

What's the point? Consuming too much is never a good thing. If hogs around the world understood that they would not constantly consume the food given to them 24/7 to make them fat and there would definitely be a bacon shortage. The bottom line is, greed is what we are being conditioned to believe is ok. As a result, people are losing jobs, homes, and their entire lives because they thought it was ok to consume everything in front of them.
