Note to Self

It is possible to make a half portion of Lemon Chicken and Orzo rather than making a full portion but with less meat and eating the entire thing in one sitting, no matter how delicious it is. (This might be contributing to your indigestion...)

But... food delicious. :(

(This is definitely a relatable problem...)

Food very delicious, but properly working body means more years in which to enjoy deliciousness of food!

[mistressofmuses]

I mean, fair point.

But then you don't get to eat as much pasta :P

(I am a pasta fiend. I consistently eat more pasta than people expect, though I only occasionally make myself sick, haha)

Well, not in one meal, no; but it does mean that I'm not sitting on the toilet one to two hours later, losing half of the pasta I just ate regardless. I may give "pre-portioning what I plan to save as leftovers" another try instead/in addition, though.

(I'm fairly sure that's what's going on, at any rate. I tricked my body into overriding my "I feel too full to finish this" signals, and overpowered my "There is no room for this, so I will expel it the way it came in" reaction, leaving "Fuck it, we're going to have to dump whatever else is in the system to make room" as the only remaining option. Because I've also thoroughly ruled out "Whoops, I didn't cook this to the proper internal temperature, FML" as a cause, and human bodies do weirder nonsense on the regular.)

Ahh that makes a lot of sense as an issue, yeah. Overriding my fullness cue has been a big problem for me throughout my life. I've only recently sort of stabilized that, mostly by having more small meals and snacky foods available throughout the day, but part of it was definitely hormonal changes as I aged and transitioned. Good luck to you in finding your own solution.
