Yeah, I did it today and, boy, am I uncomfortable. I had lunch with a friend today and am usually very good with ordering entrees that I can split and take home half. Didn't do that today; ordered a burger with onions and peppers, and my friend and I split an order of fries and onion rings. All of it is gross the next day, so, God forbid, I should leave any of it on my plate (all those starving children, you know). The older I've gotten the less tolerant my stomach has become to fried foods and I KNOW THIS. Yet, here I am, still feeling stuffed 7 hours later. The good thing is that I do know this and do it less and less frequently- slow learner, but a learner none the less. Remembering this lesson, for a while anyway, I will go back to ordering things that will re-heat well the next day. It is also why I never go to a buffet if I can help it. Good luck with the awareness; it's one of the major things I've found that helps.
