Leftovers!?!
Okay I have my first emotional eating issue in my sights. Not very glamorous or exciting ...leftovers!! Yes those little pearls of leftover food that don't make it to the plate. Now those who know me know that I have issues with inanimate objects (I feel sorry for the toys that my children don't play with!!! Issues you say!!!)Now I have only just realised that these feelings stem onto food. Seriously. I obsess about the pieces of food that are left behind and can't stop obsessing until either I eat it (which happens ninety nine percent of the time) or someone else cleans it up. I just can't throw it away! I almost have an anxiety attack about the food sitting there and the second I have eaten it I feel better as the food has accomplished its purpose in life. Does that sound completely mental? I finish a meal, feel good... then someone mentions 'oh there is more up there' or I can see food still in the bowl/pot/takeaway container... and suddenly I can't stop obessing about it, knowing that it feels wasted and alone. Boy oh boy is there some months of therapy in that one!! Next it will be the talking chocolate :O)

Ah the dreaded leftovers. I try to avoid leftovers by putting anything that does not make it onto my plate into a freezer container or snap lock bag, so that I know it is a planned meal for a later date rather than a leftover for tonight.
It doesn't always work, but it has worked some of the time.
Hope your leftovers were delicious and you can move on from them now :D
But do you think it feels any better knowing you are only eating it out of pity?
