I rarely go back and read posts later in the day, but sometimes I remember to go back days later and see what was said. I finally got around to reading posts from March 5th.
I, too, was taught to clean my plate. When I first started trying to lose weight last year, I got a package of leftover containers from Smart and Final and snuck them into restaurants. When my food arrived, I immediately split it in half before I even started eating. Thus, I would always leave a clean plate. Now sometimes, I sheepishly ask the waiter to bring me a to-go container when he brings our food and I just wait for it before I start eating. If I tried to just eat only half after the food arrived, that wouldn't work. It tasted too good and I couldn't stop eating.
Mark keeps bugging me to go back and find the post where Bruce says he couldn't find parking at the bank, therefore he's moving to Sherman Oaks. WTF?!
