I Didn’t Clean My Plate

I did something tonight that felt like a major accomplishment to me. It was just a tiny thing to other people, but to me, it was a mountain that I climbed. We went to see a movie, then went out to dinner afterwards. I was looking at the menu, and realized I got to have a cheat meal! Woohoo!
I ordered my favorite sandwich at the place we went to, and when the meal came, I didn’t finish it. Let me repeat that, I didn’t finish it. Hold the applause, please. I’m a member of the “clean your plate” club, and I’ve been working on learning to leave food behind. Only, in this circumstance it was my cheat meal. I could have had it all if I wanted. I realized I was satisfied, and I didn’t need to have it all, just because it was there. I could enjoy my cheat meal, and still leave food on my plate. It was by choice, even though I could have eaten it all, and felt stuff afterwards, I decided I felt satisfied, and that was enough.
Big step for me, and I’m feeling pretty good about that!
