Woke up this morning craving salsa with a kick. Thankfully, I'd just gone to the store yesterday and bought some salsa verde, which I've had before and loved. Daughter and I munched on chips and the salsa for a little while - for not even two years old, she LOVES spicy food. I still feel a little bit hungry, but I can't tell if that's because I didn't eat enough, or if it's just because I'm bored. Normally, I'd eat a bit and then smoke for the rest of the day if I felt hungry, but I ran out of smokes last night.
I never learned how to stop eating when I feel full. I was always told simply to clean my plate. So rather than a meal being about satisfying my hunger, it's usually about finishing what's in front of me. This makes it really hard when we eat at my in-laws' house. My husband and his family are Korean, and they set their table with many dishes, which you use your chopsticks to pick from as you eat. Your actual plate is typically empty, other than white rice. And without fail, I always eat too much, because my brain tells my stomach to keep eating, since there is still food in front of me.
You'd think that with everything I have to do (this place is a wreck and my husband comes home from deployment tomorrow) that I'd be too busy to be hungry or bored. But here I sit, unmotivated while my daughter drags her toys, which I just picked up, from one end of the house to the other.
Ugh. I really need something to kick me in the ass and get me going today.
