11.22 - The Extremes of Gluttony

I ate so much today, I don't think I can even accurately remember all of it. Sadly, I didn't actually eat due to hunger. I mainly ate because of the warm feelings associated with the holiday, because of my desire to taste everything, and because it helped fill my void. Ha. What void, you ask? Well, Thanksgiving was a lot more low-key than most of us had expected it to be, and there was food for at least five times the number of people at our family gathering. I think a part of me felt that stuffing my face would make up for the lack of people-- but, in actuality, I really really just regretted it at the end of the night. And not only was I still left with the void-- but I was left with a pretty uncomfortable tummy ache as well. Ha. Still, there was a lot to be thankful for. *tired smile*
