I'm at a conference where our meals are reimbursed. I've ordered appetizers both meals but still have got two big left over boxes full of food that no one wants and I feel extremely wasteful. How do I get that out of my head? That portions are too big anymore and that I'm not going to be able to eat a full plate of anything, even an appetizer size. I refuse to eat more than my stomach will hold..but it's really bothering me to waste food and I'm not sure why.

It is better to waste food than to waist food.

Lol are you in a city you could offer it to a Homeless person sometimes it's presumptive to think they will want it I once bought a homeless lady sleeping in the snow in the ally behind my apt Starbucks Breakfast and hot chocolate and she yelled at me :/ but I never I give up I give fruit and spare change and sweaters or old blankets to people with signs on corners when I see them most are very thankful for anything you can offer or tell you if they don't want it...

I pick over my restaurant food so much and tear it apart I wouldn't offer it to my dog.

I live in an affluent area and there are no homeless people here. Unless they are hiding in Porshe 911s.

Why do restaurants serve enough foo for two people to eat? Its ridiculous and if the government really cared about our health they would readjust portion sizes to the correct amounts in restaurants. Look at portions in other countries like France. Much smaller than USA's.

I was asked by my psychologist- would you rather waste some food or waste your sleeve?

And since then - I don't care about throwing out anything I can't finish or won't enjoy the following day as another meal.
