Started asking for a to-go box when my food arrives

I've heard of a few people who do this and I never tried it. My husband and I often eat at restaurants Friday and Saturday nights. Even a healthy choice would mean that I would over eat.
For the last month, when I order my food, I ask for a box and explain I'm not eating much.
When the food arrives, i just put most of it into the box. I don't have to face questions about whether I liked or didn't like the food and I don't have to look at a big plate of uneaten food.

Great idea.

I usually take home half of my food, I do this every time and last week I shocked everyone by eating all my food and not saving half.

I need to start doing this.
