Been there as well. Took me a while to recognize I did not have to finish every plate of food, that i could either save it for later when i was hungry again or just throw it away.
I don't want to waste food, but I need to regularly remind myself that overeating is also wasting food.
It’s just as wasteful to put the food on my ass as it is to put it in the trash, as I tell my spouse on occasion.
If it's not going to waste, it's going to waist.
I try to waste as little as possible. Would have been nice to live in a house with a yard and some chickens. Would give them leftovers. Otherwise just turn it into compost.
That's a great way of looking at it, thanks, I'm stealing it :D
Wow that’s incredible, this just blew my mind. Thank you.
I always felt the real lesson to be learned from finishing your plate was to not overfill it in the first place.
As a descendant of italian immigrants, I am still struggling with that
