Moderation - yes or no?

How many of us have been out for a celebration meal where a large banquet has been ordered and completely finished, or gone to one of those help yourself Chinese buffets, piled the plate up four or five times (or more - I have noticed professional eating machines at work in "Eat The World £9.99" joints), and ended up feeling sick because you'd over-indulged?   I know I have.   I was thinking about this the other evening having put away a large take-away on Father's Day.   My excuse of "I'm going to eat all of this because it's been paid for" is nothing short of bloody stupid.   OK, so yes, money has been spent, but what about the cost to one's health through over-eating?   Thankfully, most of us no longer have to worry about times of famine, and so glutony cannot be justified.   I believe it is better all round if we can eat sensibly, stop when satisfied, then simply walk away feeling comfortable.   If there is food left over, so what?

Slacker (again)

Been very busy of late, celebrating a big birthday and going on a family holiday (with all that extra food and drink).   Happy to say I only put on 2lb since the last entry and now back on track.
