Portion Control

I don't know how many of you out there are like me, but when I had cheesecake for the first time, it was so good that all I could think about for the next week (or year) was cheesecake. Am I right... it's thaaat good! :) But it is a little nuts to think that much about a food, even if it is that good... because we know that eating cheesecake in excess is not good for our bodies, and this introduces the idea of portion control. :) Even though I don't necessarily love the concept, I understand, and thus I practice it. Goodbye cheesecake for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

So, I was thinking about it the other day and I think that relationships are similar, when you have something good, like a great date, all you can think about is them and how you want more "cheesecake"... so to speak. Now here is the great quandary... is love in excess the same as food in excess? Can you ever give too much all at first? Some people say that you have to play the game... (p.s. I hate the game)... some people say, tell him how you feel, be honest. And then everyone else has an opinion in between...

I'll admit this blog is about me... I'm at a point where I'm emotionally free, after not really being so for the past few years. But when love is at your fingertips and you are able to give it and you feel interest growing for someone... all you want to do is spend time with them. However, I'm at a loss of what to do, because everyone tells me that I run the risk of squashing the romance if I let love run free and binge, because the purge has a wicked backlash. Ironically, I don't see advertised any "Jenny Craig"-type centers for budding lovers, to help us learn portion control. So how do I curb this desire to want to be with someone a lot? Or better yet, do I need to?
