So, do you let something in your plate when you eating?
Or remember what your mother teach you all the time, ; "eat all vegetables from your plate my dear..."
If you let something in your plate you have problems with your mother or hus/wife?
Vegetables, all time i remember that my mother had a real obsession for vegetables, in special carrots, because i want to say that i hate carrots.
what you let in your plate if you don t eat everything?

We were taught to only take what we felt that we could eat. But if i feel that i can not eat everything on my plate i do not feel guilty because i can not eat it. I do not over stuff my self because their is stuff left on my plate. I stop eating when i feel that i am full.

From my childhood , I developed the habit of taking or get served what I can eat.My parents always tell us not to waste the food.Even today, I will not wate anything.I used to insist my children the same thing not to waste the food.

My husband cooks for us, and he always cooks things we like, therefore when we have something on our plate, we will eat everything that is there. We will not take more than we can eat, and if we want more after our plates are empty, we will take more, but only as much as we know we are going to eat.

Hi, Ice!
I never left anything. I was too afraid of the consequences!

My mom used to teach me to clear my plate. Eat all the dishes on it. So wherever I go I'll finish up my plate, or else I feel guilty.

icesmile.. my mum tell us not to leave any rice on the plate, or else we end up having a partner that has lots and lots of pimples!
Therefore, since young we are trained to take enough rice, or finish all the rice in the plate. As for me, I don't eat raw vegetable prepared by restaurant, therefore, when my dishes serves with veg like lettuce, tomato, I will normally leave it on the plate but I finish the rest.
