Re: A tip for those of us with Portion problems

I sort of do the same thing -- I eat on a salad plate instead of a

dinner plate.

That's a great idea. I also like getting pretty, small plates, it

makes me feel like I'm eating more and I like the look of the dishes -

sounds silly I guess but I like eating on dishes that " fancy up " the

meal

Ah, yes, I love my kiddy plates and I don't even have kids. I'd be lost without

Scooby and Batman. It looks like you're eating a big heaping bunch of food when

your plate is that small. The little plastic bowls are perfect too. They make a

1/2 cup of oatmeal look fun instead of pitiful.

A tip for those of us with Portion

problems

One of my biggest down falls was portion size...I had to really get

that a portion is the size of your fist! I'm really bad for that I

was eating way to much (some times I still do!)....so it may sound

silly but I eat on my kids plates...you know the little plastic ones

with Disney characters? I found this really helped me stick to

portion sizes...

I do the same thing. I even went out and bought some new fancy salad

plates to make the meals more fun. The first time I used them the kids

asked what the special occasion was, they didn't even notice that the

plates were smaller!
