When ever we visit restaurants, they almost always serve more food than one person needs but can eat, at one meal.So we go ahead and gulp the food down since we already know we are going to pay for it. Then we complain about how full we are!. So what should we do?
For starters we split an entrée between two if WE happen to be at a lunch or dinner table in a restaurant. So it is all good and everyone is eating correctly. What if I am alone at the restaurant? Well it is easy to ask for a "to-go" box. But this time do it before the end of the meal! as soon as your lunch or dinner brought to the table, wrap up half your meal in the to-go box or bag. Take the leftbefores home, refrigerate and enjoy another meal or a snack tomorrow.

Ah yes ... restaurant overload! Experienced that myself this week! We could have ordered half of what we ordered ... but we didn't AND we gorged AND we had a hard time getting to sleep!
