Eat Until It Hurts

Why is it that every time I go to Taco Bell, my eyes are larger than my stomach?
I blame it on the variety they offer. You see, when I go to Chipotle, I know I'm only getting one burrito, because one burrito is plenty to fill me. But at Taco Bell, I need at least two items to make a dent in my hunger. No problem right? A Cheesy Gordita Crunch is only a buck forty nine.
WRONG.
Sure, you COULD by just one CGC, but you know you're going to want another one, so you order two. But that half-pound beef & potato burrito looks tasty too, so you might as well get that to eat between CGC1 and CGC2. Oh, and you didn't think you were leaving without ordering some nachos, did you?
So what ends up happening, is you leave the store (yes, store... they can't legally call themselves a restaurant because what they sell does not technically qualify as "food")... so you leave the store with your satchel full of food-like product and you go home and dig in. You have so many great flavors coming at you at once, that you can't help but shovel every last thing into your face.
At this point you are thanking God that you sprung for that extra pair of hard-shell tacos, because you're still freaking hungry after eating 6 pounds of various tortilla, meat, cheese, and sauces.
But halfway through that 17th taco, your brain finally gets the message that you're full. Apparently it takes your stomach 20 minutes to tell your brain to tell your hands to stop pushing food into your mouth. But 20 minutes is exactly how long it takes to devour 1.5 times the holding capacity of your stomach.
Mother Nature is such a bitch sometimes.

This folks, it what's known as "eating until it hurts."
