Skinny People Split Entrays

I finally did it yesterday. For years I have known that the truly thin people will find someone to split a meal with. I knew it when I was 15 and thought it was silly. They had to still be hungry after eating half a portion I would say to myself. They must have an eating disorder, that isn't enough. What I didn't know at the time was that the portion restaurants give you contain about twice the number of calories that anyone should eat in one sitting. Not always, there are the rare exceptions to this rule, but generally speaking it is a good rule of thumb. The thin people knew it. I didn't know it, and now I am trying to lose weight. They aren't. So yesterday when we went to the restaurant, I split a meal, and afterwards I didn't feel hungry. I noticed that I didn't feel stuffed and too full to do other activities. The kids and I rode our bikes several miles, and other than the heat I was fine. Had I eaten the whole thing, I would have felt too bloated to do anything, I would have wanted to sit around for a long time, playing cards or a board game. Instead we went outside and played in the park for hours, riding bikes and other adventures.
