    I either:
    Split an appetizer and entree with my dh or others with me or
    Order 2 appetizers such as soup and hearty salad or
    Take the rest home with me.

    If I can't finish what I ordered, then I always pack it to go and eat it later.

    This.

    Also, on the times I have had to throw food out rather than eat it, I realized this: I could feel guilty for throwing it out, or I could feel guilty for eating it. At least if I threw it out, it was contributing to my weight loss effort.

    weight watchers tips: share with a friend, ask for a take out container when ordering and put half of it away right when it arrives, order from the kids/seniors/lunch menu, order an appetizer instead, order sides like salad or soup. If you have opportunity to check out the menu/nutrional info on line before you go, you can choose ahead and plan the rest of your day accordingly....
    and no, I dont' feel guilty if I can't finish :)
