Is your family full of "big eaters"?

I've come to realize that my mom doesn't understand the concept of a person NOT being a big eater.  I think she's used to dealing with my father and his family too much.

Every time she has a dinner of some sort she has WAYYYY too much food leftover.  She seriously OVERestimates the amount of food that needs to be cooked.  It doesn't matter how many times I tell her that what she has planned is too much...she does it anyway.  Now she's pouting because she has so much food leftover.  Nobody took food home because my FIL does not eat leftovers, my BIL/SIL still have a fridge full of food and no room to put any, and DH's great aunt eats like a bird.

The variety of foods she offers is awesome, but she really needs to scale back on the amount of it.  I hate that my mother is so wasteful.  That is all.

Every time I go to my mom's house, I think she wants me to eat 10 lb of food. Even if I eat a meal there, she keeps asking me if I want anything else.
