Let me count the ways:
Overeating has always been a problem. Eating beyond the point of fullness the point of uncomfortableness.
Ordering multiple portions. Making more food than I need at a time because its 'cheaper' to buy and cook in quantity.
Taking food off my kids plate when they are finished and making sure that they have ordered 'enough' for both of us (of course I had my own meal too.)
Eating food from someone's plate when cleaning up the kitchen. food that they didn't want.
Eating food that has been frozen for months (although I don't find this objectionable some would)
Relying upon my nose to tell me if food is bad - I don't have a very sensitive nose.
Eating late at night after everyone is gone to bed so they don't know how much I am eating.
Snack foods are the worst - gorging in popcorn, chips, candy - wanting to get my 'fair share' before my sister did is what I remember about this. So I would eat handfuls at a time so I got as much as I wanted.
Barely chewing - more like inhaling food. Taking enormous bites - overstuffing my mouth.
Serving sizes that would chock a horse - always getting the super sized quantities.
Picking restaurants based upon the size of the serving rather than the quality of the preparation. Feeling like I had have my money's worth.
Not eating enough color - not enough green, orange, or yellow. Mostly browns and whites.
cooking foods I liked repeatedly because they were comfort foods - always eating in a routine.
sneaking food - many trips to the kitchen even when I was done with my meal to graze. Looking for food to fill a desire rather than a need.
not being disciplined about my eating - whenever, whereever, and as much as I wanted without concern about the consequences.
eating food that was to be saved for another meal or occasion, knowing that it could be replaced.
wanting to eat more than have sex with my wife when i was married.
