*hugs to you* I can understand being a bit down about it.

2. They've some really nice smaller tupperware containers; perhaps if they were smaller, you'd feel less like it was a waste of tupperware?
3. Ah, the old dad-as-garbage-disposal thing. You are not alone there, at least. I guess...store leftovers in tupperware? I'm not a sales rep, just a fan.
4. Oh, now that's just an affront to your tastebuds. If it's that bad, it's not worth finishing. Spend your allotted calories on something you'll enjoy.
5. I do that one, too, around 11 or 12. Try working it down from meal to snack to perhaps just a glass of milk or water?
6. Appetizer sampler plates. Mmm.
7. Actually, that's my suggestion here, too:order appetizers. Some places let you order a "lunch portion." Otherwise, tell yourself you've just ordered two meals: half you'll eat there, half you're going to take home for later. And put it in tupperware.
9. I would find something you can do WHILE watching TV. for me, that's ab crunches.

I hope that helps.
