I have the "eyes bigger" thing, too.
And I'm also finding that my bgs are leveling out, no matter how much I eat. It is a miracle.
Last night I overate (eggs, cheese, ham, spinach casserole), then ate some nuts and some more cheese *and* had coffee with cream. Despite the gluttony, my PP BG was still only 6.1. Holy moses.
And it has come down a few notches for my average FBG -- this morning down 7.0. 7.0 isn't where I want it, but it is way closer than it was when it was 19.
And I've lost 6.5 lbs. In 15 days.
I'm also getting into the spiritual side of IF - thinking with gratitude about all the food available to me all the time, and how much good healthy food I will be able to eat at 5:00. I think about the millions around the world who don't have a 5:00 meal coming.
I think about the common practice among Buddhist monks to eat only until noon each day, and I concentrate on how much lighter I am, and how I'm consuming less of the world's resources.
So far, this has been a rewarding practice on many levels.
