Act of Eating

Conversation with a friend the other day:

Friend: ...I don't understand what it means to have postprandial fullness.
Me: What do you mean?
Friend: I mean, how does it feel and how is that different from normal fullness?
Me: Well have you ever eaten so much you just feel like your stomach is so uncomfortable? 
Friend: (looks at me quizzically) Uh no. Why would anyone do that??!
Me: ……. (speechless, look down guiltily)
Friend: No seriously... Why would anyone eat anymore when they already feel full?! 

Now every time I go into the kitchen to look for snacks, I think about her question. Sometimes it helps to keep me from bingeing. Other times, it still doesn't work. lol. I guess old habits die hard. Like right now… these pineapple tarts… they're just too good to resist…!! :P
