Cleaning the Plate

I had a good dinner--big salad with tuna, dr Praeger's sweet potato pancakes, some baked Trader Joe French Fries (no ketchup), went off to write up a reference for a client, schedule two interviews, then finish cleaning our dinner plates while my son did his homework.

While my son started his math, I went to clean the plates and put the remains in the garbage and put the salvageable stuff into containers in he refrigerator.

My son left 3 bites of a plain burger with a fork sticking in it. I picked up the fork and took a bite and asked, "Why did you just take a bite? You aren't hungry so throw it out."

That's exactly what I did. Throw it out rather than eat unnecessarily.

See how easy that was to slide into one of the old habits?
