Well, at least she *does* usually come back for the other half.  I'd say
I have more problems with men...I mean, you think it's bad with cookies
or small pastries...but I bake a three-layer cake, leave the room, and
when I come back, my brother has eaten half of it!  Now, there's a 
havling problem for you.

Actually, I can think of two causes for you:  1)  The woman is just not
hungry enough to eat a whole whatever.  Later, after some time has passed,
she is now hungry enough to eat the rest.  2)  The person is on a diet,
and this is a good way to reassure herself..."well, I'm only eating *half*
of it."

Now, that's something I object to: diets.  I could not live without ice
cream.
