Half a Cup

This is half a cup.

I keep looking at it to see if it grows.

Still half a cup.
Still smaller than I think it should be.
Hmm... Maybe if I look at it a different way.

Nope. Still looks small.... Almost tiny, even.

Really? This is all I get?



Okay. Let's give this a try.





Well, the good news is this:
I get to eat this much 3 times a day.


Even better:
After doing this for a day, I am surprised to say, that it works.
This is really all I need. However, I think the trick is to eat slowly. Very slowly. Very, very slowly.
I'm talking about letting a minute pass between swallows.
A MINUTE!
That is the longest, small amount of time ever.

I found myself not knowing what to do while I waited.

Maybe I should take up crocheting, again.
Or sudoku?
Or, maybe, I could, like, talk to people....

"...."


Dang, this dieting thing is getting more challenging all the time!

Having to talk to people?



Really?
