Me but I got diagnosed with OCD

30

I once read that restaurants give you 2X portion sizes and the internet never lies so now when I go out, I usually eat 1/2 my meal and save the rest for later. I used to not like leftovers but now I can tolerate them and sometimes the food tastes better after it’s had time to marinate all together or whatever.

I like leftovers if I liked the food but if the food was already iffy I’m def not going back for more. And also I have a pretty sort timespan of how long it can sit before I just can’t eat it

I love leftovers. Less cooking and dishes. Just have to eat before it hits its contamination period. And of course properly seal it and all that.

I can do like 1 day leftovers, but my issue is, is there’s no differentiation in my mind between day 2 leftovers and day 7 leftovers (because I’m time blind as shit) and it’s terrifying cuz I have Mycophobia.

That’s just a personal preference

I haaaate leftover fried foods. I always give any leftover fries or fried fish or vegetables to my family because once they go in the fridge or microwave I know they won’t be the same
