Sorry if this is obvious, but it was quite the epiphany to me so there might be some who need to hear it.
If, like me, you were raised by parents who made a huge deal about not wasting food then they might still be doing it when you try to avoid cake, or a second helping. Worse, you may have internalised it - “I’ve got to eat those, they go out of date tomorrow.”
I found it really helpful to keep telling myself:
“The food is already wasted, now we are just deciding whether we eat it as well”
If you are not hungry, if its unneeded, additional food then the boat has already sailed. The food is already wasted. The food was wasted when it was bought.
The only decision that remains is whether it is wasted in the bin or wasted as fat.
Either way it’s still wasted.
