Chewie, with the size of most resturant dinners (all price ranges) anymore (more than one person servings) your wife has a good idea. Carry home containers/'doggy bags' are a great way to go!

And Dew Tal I know what you are talking about I have heard capable, adult, organized women deal with thier 'diets' like that. I heard one women say "I have just eaten one orange all day long--I am *so* proud of myself!" I thought don't you know that humans are supposed to eat and what are you proud of? But that is so like some of the patient examples in Sp.'s book on yo-yo dieting. It so much is not building the body correctly.
