Do you eat your fill, or ration some for later?

There was a time when my children were very small that I went without so my kids could eat. I did lose weight.

I never eat my fill. That is a gross feeling. I eat til I’m comfortable then send it away.

We were taught to eat the plate empty, or else.

I clean my plate but I don’t fill it. I absolutely do not eat until I’m full – unless I am at a Asian Sushi and Hibachi Buffet. I get my money’s worth there. That happens about once or twice a year.

I’ve never had to go to bed hungry, but there were times that I had to be very careful with grocery money, and probably ate much cheaper food that wasn’t as healthy. Nowadays I ration my food because I have to be careful what I take in because of my health issues. And when I do eat out, it’s gotten so expensive that I always try and order something that I will have leftovers from.

I do not over eat. I eat fairly small portions.

Last time I went to bed hungry was earlier this spring when I did a 4 day fast. Day 2 and 4 were simply horrible.

We were expected to eat everything on our plates even the brussel sprouts and the bits of onion in the mince and I know that somewhere, my parents are still watching to make sure that I do.

Now I usually eat small portions and move on. I feel gross today from a family bbq and I did eat too much meat, so salads only for 3 days.

@flutherother…are you happy with your weight?

@Dutchess_III Yes, it hasn’t changed much over the last 50 years.
