I'm quickly realizing where I still need to evaluate and the biggest place
seems to be when eating with other people who don't share my lifestyle. I
need to learn to be stronger and listen to myself. I also need to be
vigilant in keeping portions as that's how I seem to manage my overeating.
The spaghetti was actually a fault in that strategy. I said two forkfuls
thinking that would be about 1 cup. It ended up being more like 2 and even
though I could have stopped after eating only half I felt that I would be
wasting food she had spent all morning cooking. Lessons learned and that's
what counts I guess. Being aware of it at least makes it less likely to
happen again.

I think you did fine. What's important is that, having realized you
probably overate the spaghetti lunch, you didn't say to yourself,
"Well, what the heck, I've blown it anyway!" and go on to eat a bunch
of chips and sweets and stuff the rest of the day. And it was a good
learning experience, as you say.
