Buffets, Easter and New Diet

I have no self control when I'm hungry and there is a delicious buffet available. And even if I am not hungry, if there is a buffet available I can't help but to eat. I simply can not get enough if the food is good! Here are some examples to support my claim.
Example #1: A couple of weekends ago I accidentally ate fowl at a buffet because I was so carried away in the heat of eating that I didn't realize there was chicken in the curry. When on my second plate of the curry I realized my mistake. It caused me much embarrassment.
Example #2: Last weekend I went to a buffet brunch and totally stuffed myself.
Example #3: Yesterday I went to an Indian buffet and drastically overindulged in naan bread, garbanzo beans, curry and samosas. When I left that Indian restaurant I was so stuffed that I could not walk straight. I was walking like a 9 month pregnant lady with swollen ankles, holding my belly as if it were a soon-to-rupture-food-baby.
Yesterday I realized that there was a destructive eating-pattern emerging in my behaviors. I realized that I have a problem. A problem of buffet-proportions.


Then... Today was Easter. In my family, Easter is known as a Thanksgiving-type celebration that involves bunnies and chocolate eggs instead of turkeys and pilgrims. In other words, its all about the food. I tried to control myself a little better today than yesterday. But Easter is a holiday; how can you expect to have self control about delicious food and buffets on a holiday? There were artichokes and barley and squashes and cheeses and breads and crackers and fruits and salads and grilled vegetables and lots of deserts. All of these items were worthy of eating by (even the pickiest) kings and queens. Certainly the Easter Bunny would want me to feast?!!? Against my better judgment, I had second helpings of homemade pies and scrumptious upside down pineapple cake.


Unsurprisingly, now I feel sort of disgusted with myself. I feel too full. I am gaining weight. Something needs to change: This Easter was my LAST buffet overindulgence. As of this very second I am starting a new diet. My diet involves avoiding buffets. And, if for some reason I am forced into a buffet-situation, I will only eat ONE plate. Just one. One plate should be more than enough for me.
