[QUOTE="Fraddycat, post: 336760, member: 46145"] Hi Mazbee, there is a lot to be said for this, my grandmothers and my mother and father were exactly like this when I was growing up. I remember being made to sit at the table for hours until I had finished cold mashed potato that I was too full to eat. Eventually I got sent to my room for the rest of the night because I was caught trying to smuggle it to the bin. That must have been nearly 40 years ago but I still remember it vividly. But I had a revalation when staying at my mums a few years ago and she was saying 'eat up' to my son that if its in my tummy or the bin the result is the same, except if its in the bin (or in the fridge for later) that the person has not overeaten. I think this 'eat up' mentality came about to some extent from rationing during the war. So now I would much rather throw away food that is not eaten rather than for example eating my kids left overs. I think genetically also some of us (I am certain I do not have this) do not have the same 'I'm full' triggers that most people have. I can eat and eat until I burst, but but actually if I eat a small portion from a small plate like you say, I am perfectly satisfied. [/QUOTE]
