Zeno's Diet

Open a container of something tasty, like fresh strawberries. Eat half of it.

The second time around, eat half of what's left.

The third time around, eat half of... you get the idea.

This is a behavioral pattern of mine that I'd vaguely been aware of but realized more explicitly the other day. And "half" is an approximation, of course, plus it breaks down at the tail end.

I think the process is a tension between "pig out on the tasty stuff" and "don't finish it all."
