[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get it OP bc my DD has done this for years. I finally had enough and now my policy is she orders one thing, eats it and if she is still hungry then she can order something else or we split something. She also will not eat leftovers. [/quote]

Thanks. I think I'm going to institute this as well as reminding her of the "eyes are more hungry than the stomach" thing, and if more than one thing looks good, we can come back a second time and she can order the other thing - no need to get everything.

I'm honestly shocked at how nuts most people here think I am - but maybe they didn't fully read the initial post since so many told me to just get a box to go even though I said she doesn't eat the leftovers. It's hard to believe so many here are totally okay with wasting over half the food ordered, and wasting money on food uneaten. [/quote]

Don't do that. I was a kid with a small appetite. Portions were enormous.  Not my fault.

I am certainly not ok with wasting food.  I often order an appetizer for my main, but the food is wasted whether you eat it or not.
