Confession: I have to eat EVERYTHING on plate

Don't apologise, there's no need .

I love eating out! Whether it`s breakfast (at the weekend), lunch or dinner! I like to have starters and mains (don`t do dessert!), but know there is no way I can eat everything; so, I often order 2 starters...assuming I like the options availale. That way, I get to try two different dishes but in manageable amounts! mum also always said `eat up all your food`, so I did for a loooong time..but now I also use smaller plates, even the sight of huge dinner plates is a turn-off for me. When food arrives at the table, and I can see immediately that I won`t be able to finish it all, I just take time, eat what I want to, and box the rest - that way, no bad conscience, no uncomfortable overful bloated feeling, and I`ve had a nice time! I apply the same principle at home BTW.

If I'm eating out, you ask the server to box up half of meal. There's less temptation for over indulging. Also, you have a meal for later. It might sound silly at first, but it you don't see it, you won't eat it.
