I agree about how psychological it is. Actually, one fo the worst behaviors in eating, I only really realized by playing poker.
When I began playing online poker, I used to call a lot hoping to hit turns/rivers, since I already had money in the pot. After gaining some experience, my winning % is much higher by folding way more often after the flop or even pre-flop.
In eating, especially in restaurants but even at home, many people will finish their whole plate becausent to waste it". Thus they eat more than they need to, and become very very full instead of just satisfied. I have tried to stop doing this more and more and eat (or order) only until I feel nearly full, not past.
