Size DOES Matter :o)

I think most everyone knows that the food you buy at any restaurant today is going to actually be enough to feed at least 2 people...if you don't know this by now, well...you should.  Just because its what they bring you doesn't mean you have to eat it all...take it home with you for God's sake !  There is NO shame in doggie bags...

Here is another segment delivered by Eat This!  Not That!

It's such a simple concept, but something that so many people struggle with. Whenever you hear of people who have lost a lot a weight, they always say portion control was what helped them to lose it! Why can't we just put the freakin fork down?

By the way I just found your blog... it's great!

When I go out I typically order my meal and then ask the server to only bring out 1/2 on the plate and the other 1/2 in a carry out box. They don't usually like to do it....but tough....restaurants should offer more choices that aren't going to be my whole day's worth of calories (or worse). No wonder we have so many obese people waddling around.

**I really liked what she said about how these sizes begin to look normal to us. We think when we are given a "normal" serving that we're going to starve when really that's all our body really needs.
