Portion Control

Another thing I am learning through all of this is portion control. I come from a family of eaters ad I don't just mean eaters I mean we live to eat. BIG plates piled high where we go back for seconds and thirds because that's how much is always prepared. I have to admit I am guilty of cooking like that in my own home. So tonight for dinner I made a taco casserole and only made an 8x8 instead of the regular 13x9. I also have decided that we are going to start eating off of our smaller plates to help us really look at what we're eating and hopefully tricking our minds that since the plate is full we should as well. Even if my family gets seconds it would be the equivalent of one regular plate. I pulled out INO tonight and only had one plate. A small but GREAT accomplishment for me! I know it's only 3 days in but I am feeling good! Life can revolve around food, but we can control how much we eat!
