Chapter: Comic
I usually have this problem with leftovers. “I’ll have some of that chicken from last night for lunch! Hmm… if I take this portion there’s only a tiny bit left might as well eat it all so it doesn’t go to waste!”
30 minutes later.
“My bowels are aching!”

I do this, too. It’s actually a sort of very mild eating disorder. I literally can’t not finish my plate under most circumstances.
It’s good, because as issues go at least this one is relatively damaging. It’s bad because…well, eating food that I *know* I don’t need, don’t really even *want*, just because it’s there…
Er, I mean to say relatively *undamaging*. Aside from an extra pound or two on my waistline, it’s not doing me harm except in the head.
Doesn’t count if it’s one of those 99-cent bags you buy at the convenience store.
Your comic just reminded me that I forgot some leftover soup in my car. You just saved tomorrow’s lunch! Thanks!
Haha! Once again, comics save the day!
Indeed. Delicious tortilla soup from The Jalapeno Tree in McKinney, TX. You should try some if you’re ever in the area. It’s pretty much the best soup ever.
Alas, I was raised as a plate-cleaner also, and tried to get my first two daughters to be like that.
Later I realized that if I _didn’t_ eat the rest, it was garbage.
And if I _did_, I was eating garbage!
I’m a little better now.
