Realizing your idea of "cutting back" is still a ton of food to everyone else.
Example: Yesterday, my fiance and I went to eat and get beers with friends. My fiance ordered a Greek salad and had two vodka drinks. One friend got 6 wings, a side salad, and 2 beers; the other had a burger and fries. I had a double turkey burger, fries, a full size Buffalo chicken salad, two beers, and a piece of turtle cheese cake. I consider that a very modest meal, but my food was still taking up half the table!
