Have you experienced being so hungry that you got a lot on your plate? But after a few mouthfuls you were full and wasn't able to consume everything?

I hate to admit but at so many times even if I have already experienced such, I always fill my plate with a lot of food just because I feel so hungry. But then I eat and there, I am full already. Leaving me with no choice but to abandon my food.
It's painful to see the unfinished portion but I also do not want to eat more just because of that. So lesson is to always control what to put on the plate so there will be no regrets later on.
It's funny how many of those I observe do this kind of act. Like the plate looks like a mountain. Haha. But it's understandable and as I have said I also do this a lot of times.
This morning, I went to buy two pancit canton chilimansi although I know that I can only consume one piece. I bought a burger to go along the pancit canton. I filled my plate with rice and mushroom steak after cooking the pancit canton.
I ate but a few moments, I was already full. I reluctantly set the food aside hoping I will again consume it but I wasn't in the mood anymore.
Tomorrow again, I bet I will do this again but please, if possible, I shouldn't. The food is crying I know. It's shouting to me, "Why did you leave me?"
I promise myself that I will do my best to restrain my immodest act so that no food should be wasted. You know, there are so many people who budget their resources just so they can have something daily. And there are even those without food.
This should go without saying and I remember when we were kids, we were always reminded to not waste food. We should get only that which we can consume. I wonder what happens to my mind always.
I always believe that little things matter. The little good things you do will sum up to many good things. The little bad things we do will sum up to many terrible things.
When we use our calculative minds in doing things, then we are bound to do better than when we just do things mindlessly.
My greedy act of getting too much food that I already know I can't consume is one act that should be changed. Less guilt, less stress.
