Make leftovers at the beginning

If you make a large batch of food, hoping to have leftovers for the week and spare yourself the task of cooking again, make actual leftovers up top. Take the portion you’d like to eat tonight, and plate it. Then take the rest and immediately put it in Tupperware. This is your way of communicating to yourself that that food is for another night, and not for tonight. Those portions have been earmarked for other meals. When you do this, it will make you think twice about going back for seconds when you’re already full. You’ll be robbing future you of a ready-made meal, and forcing yourself to cook again.
