[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]This reminds me of a lunch outing to a Thai eatery with my girlfriends. I told DH I would bring him back an order of pad thai. I ordered one for myself and didn't bother ordering another one for DH because I was full within 5 bites. The server got me a to-go box, into which my pad thai leftovers went and DH was happy he had such a thoughtful wife while I managed to save myself $20.[/quote]

I'm a hefty 115 pounds and I am somehow not satisfied with 5 bites of food.  I guess I'm a disgusting pig for eating more than a toddler.[/quote]

I think the point is that pp stopped eating when she was full. Maybe pp shared appetizers with her friends.  Maybe she ate a late lunch.  Maybe “5 bites” is hyperbole.  If your body says you’re full, it’s ok to stop eating.[/quote]

Thanks PP. I'm the Thai eatery PP and yes, I did share appetizers and that contributed to my feeling full after 5 bites. That plate of pad thai was a lot to consume in 1 sitting unless you were like sumo wrestler. I'm an immigrant too, and would say that coming to the US motivated me to learn to cook since authentic Asian food options aren't as plentiful and it's a hassle to drive to eat out. [/quote]
