If I'm eating something
or drinking something. I have to finish it, even if I'm really full up or if we're leaving the pub in a hurry.

You might think I'm a fat bastard and you'd probably be right..

Me too
Also I cannot leave beer in a glass (or wine) and walk away from it. I'll even finish a mates or my Mrs drink. Just can't leave it.

I am a fat bastard but was much fatter - 20st down to 16st.

Don't ever live in the US.

Portion sizes[*] are huge, and the first year I was here I put on almost 3 stone. All gone now, thankfully, and dropping a little more, but it was a shock to see what a bloated lard ass I had become.

[*] Of food. They still almost universally insist on ridiculously effete 16oz pints of beer. Which means I've just necked the last of the ale and was just getting a taste for it. Oh well, it means I've usually got another lined up waiting. Score!

Me as well
I have to clear my plate, always have and always will.

My wife however always has to leave something on her plate, even if it's a solitary chip.

I then have to eat that as well. I too was fat, now I'm getting thinnner. Mostly by giving myself smaller portions which I can finish.

Exactly
Had a huge row with (mad Spanish) ex about this- I rushed off after a waiter to seize back the warm remains of a G&T which I had become quite attached to; the waiter offered me another one, but I wanted mine, which I grabbed from his tray of dirty glasses. Returned to the table to an ear-piercing explanation that it was a free bar, that there was as much G&T as I wanted, and that I was weird.

Ah well...
