you can throw it away

when I have people over and I make a dessert I either make them take it home or I throw it away.

I was taught never to waste food so I ate it all rather then throw it away. I now realize it is better and healthier for me to give or throw it away cause if you leave me the rest of the pie I will fini**** not all in the same day as I used to but in a few days and now I am satisfied with a taste

Great point!! Sometimes our garbage disposal eats better than we do, but I totally agree - and I was raised the same way - clean your plate, don't waste food, starving children and all that....but now I ditch it - hubby shouldn't have it due to diabetes, and either should I. Feed the disposal - you'll thank yourself in the morning!!

Yup Susan, good point and truth be told, always been an issue, learning still that it's ok to throw things away, though I can do that with desserts, it's the food on my plate I feel obligated to eat and not throw away at times, have made lots of progress with that recently

I agree, for the first time in my life this weekend I threw everything away that was left, didn't try to salvage a thing. 

 That is our first step

When I make a dessert, it is either a fresh fruit salad, or a no-sugar added pie.  I usually end up throwing the rest away the next day, except for the fresh fruit.
