It's Lent so I'm observing an abstinence diet which actually follows the Qu'ran's injunction to fill the stomache one-third with food, one-third with water and one-third with air (i.e. empty.) I went to a restaurant the other night and carefully cut my dinner into thirds and ate one-third. I was full! If I had not been aware of eating only what I need I probably would have consumed the whole thing because it was so tasty. But I took the rest home and had two more yummy meals. The awareness thing was pretty revelatory for me. It's amazing how much more we eat than we need.
