Eating in Half-sies

Have you tried only eating half of what you'd normally portion out for yourself? I recently made a half-sized bowl of cereal to see how much it'd fill me up. While I was making it, I reassured my panicking self by saying, Hey, if it's not enough, you can always make another bowl. After eating what seemed like the world's tiniest portion (it was actually quite normal-sized), I was... fine. I felt like I'd gotten enough to eat. Which really made me wonder: how often am I doing this? I thought I put the quantities in this blog to see what it takes to fuel my current body. But I don't think this is accurate. I think these amounts fuel my current mindset.

Note: Capitalized recipes are my own.

Today's Observations
Have really been paying attention to quantities lately. I've also tried to be in Observer Mode (tm) when I eat smaller portions. Panic seems to creep to the fore, like I'm worried about not getting enough. Where's that coming from? Did I starve in a past life? Hmm....
