I rarely freeze leftovers. They always go into the fridge and we try and eat them up for lunches or another dinner. More often than not, I end up eating them by taking them to work for lunch, since my son isn't much of a leftover person. After my husband passed away, I too had to adjust to cooking for one less person and I've found that difficult. For instance, when I'm making mashed potatoes, I try to remember that I don't need as many in the pan as I used to. But then I hear my mother's voice saying "One more for good measure" and toss another one in. That extra potato or two leaves me with more than we needed, so a day or two later I'll make potato soup out of the rest.
I agree that old cooking habits are hard to break.
