It's a fine line

It's a fine line between quenching thirst and over drinking, satisfying hunger
and over eating, a very fine line indeed. I've just had a mid-morning snack. I
had a sausage sandwich and some grapes – wasn't satisfied. I've just gotten half
way through a Danish and had to throw it out cos I'm too full. There was a good
hour between the sausage sandwich and the pastry, during which I was distracted
from myself, but I tuned in (see here for details: Beyond Chocolate)
and decided what I really wanted was some doughy weighty snacky thing, not 
chocolate, not fruit, not anything but something with dough and icing.

I now feel sick after eating it so I'm unsure why I was so fixated on it. I
definitely wanted it, nothing else would do, but now I feel sick.

Hmm, I may be having a smaller lunch than expected.......a much smaller lunch.

But why does this happen? Was it my subconscious testing whether or not I would
feed the craving? Was it some weird additive in the Danish that my body was
craving? Was it pure sugar craving? Or was it me needing to prove to myself that
I can and will allow myself to eat whatever it is I want at that given time? I
don't know.

What I do know is that I will be taking it easy for the next few hours and
drinking a lot of water – hopefully not enough to make me sick, but enough to
dilute the effects of that bloody Danish.
