A few simple (but hard) rules

You don't have to eat it all.
Just because it's on your plate you don't have to eat it.
If someone leaves it you don't have to finish it off.
It's not important that you eat everything on your plate.
Just because someone has fixed it for you it doesn't mean you have to have it.

You don't have to drink it all.
Just because it's in your glass you don't have to drink it.
If someone leaves it you don't have to finish it off.
It's not important that you drink everything in your glass.
Just because you pour it doesn't mean you have to drink it.
