I don't hoard food. But I can't throw anything away until it went bad. Even if it is just half a serving. Until it goes bad I have to keep it. Even if I know I don't want to eat it. I hope James will eat it. Of course he doesn't. Once it goes bad, it's out. But as long as it techically good still...different story. I have finally learned to not eat the left overs off the kids plates.
When we go out to eat, I have to eat it all. Today we went to a fast food place. Fortunately I didn't order anything. The kids and James left enough for a whole meal. I can't. I simply can't. I payed for it. The stuff was expensive. People starve every day. I simply can't throw it away.
I wonder if that has to do with my hoarding.
Your post is something I can relate to! I have the same problem with not wanting to throw anything away in terms of food, but didn't even put it together that it ties in with hoarding until I read your post. Thank you for your insight! :) I've been struggling with changing how much food I order or prepare, so that there are no leftovers, or choosing food that can be stored for long periods. Not perfect, still working on it, but it's been helping somewhat…
