A Really Big Salad

I am in the process of losing weight. It’s a long process but it seems to be working. There is noticeable progress and I feel pleased with my improved health and new look. It has given me a sense of confidence that previously eluded me. So strong is my confidence that a few weeks ago at a restaurant I did something I had only dreamed off in the past. I asked if a particular salad was large. In the past I always thought I was too obviously fat to ask if a particular food item was going to be large enough to satisfy me. I figured the waitperson would be unable to judge how large a salad would have to be to satiate one of my heft. So at the restaurant a few weeks ago I asked the waiter “Is that grilled vegetable salad pretty large?” He assured me it was plenty large and made a gesture to indicate the size of the bowl. I ordered the salad. It was large, large enough even for my appetite. When I was almost done with the salad, I took a breather from my frenzied eating but had every intention of eating the last bite at the bottom of the bowl. Just as I was about to reach for my fork the waiter reappeared and asked if I was done. I smiled and nodded. I confided to my dinner partner that my confidence had improved but not had not come far enough to demand that the waiter leave me every last morsel of food to consume. Check back with me after another fifteen pounds.
