Is my snake growing to quick?

I have a cornsnake who is not even a year old. In the last month she has shed twice, and is preparing to shed again within the next day or so. She currently eats 1 one and a half ounce med. fuzzy a week and she is fast approaching the 2 foot long mark. She is about as big around as a bic lighter. My question is this, am I overfeeding her? What, if any recommendations does anyone have for feeding her? I know that overfeeding can cause health issues, which is why I am asking.
 
Of course, all snakes grow at different rates. I wouldn't say that she is to large at a little less than a year old and a little less than 2 feet. She is a standard, maybe slightly larger than normal, snake, but I have a 2 year old that is 3 1/2 feet and 400+ grams, so I think you've just got a healthy snake on your hands. :)
