[ExI] too much

[William Flynn Wallace]

How much is too much?  You only know after you have reached that point,
when it is too late.

Context:  I just got over a serious case of pancreatitis (is there any
other kind?).  So I will be meeting with my GI and a nutritionist next week
to go over my diet.

Naturally I want to push the envelope and have as much saturated fat (the
culprit in my attack, I am told) as I can (though I will not be reprising
my evening glut of ice cream (about 1/3 of a carton)).

So, I will be told not to have too much.  But what is 'too much'?

Duh - I think I am being patronized when I am told not to do something too
much, as if I had no idea when to quit anything.  Why would I do anything
too much unless I was just a careless idiot who might be showing off to
someone?

I will report after my meetings.  I suspect that no one will tell me how
much ice cream I can have.  (you should see the post-pancreatitis eating
plan they gave me - a roach would starve to death on it).
