Do you do this ?
Let us know :)


Shrink Your Plate, Shrink Your Waist

Try eating a smaller portion of what you normally eat today.
If you usually have two bowls of cereal in the morning, eat only one.
If you always have a sandwich with cheese, skip the cheese.
Fight hunger with fruit or veggie snacks between meals.
Try it for a week to see if smaller portions actually do satisfy you :)

I do this all the time & it really helps,
By eyeballing it imagining fist size or less :)

Cutting down on portions does work. At first, you may feel a bit hungry, but that will pass and it will make you smile when the numbers on the scale go down. I'll be working on this while on vacation as healthy pickings on menus will be slim to none!

I do this too Hugs. Instead of a whole sandwhich, I eat half of it and drink a cup of water.


I have been eating grapes for snacking or raisins and almonds.


I do this everyday and it helps me control.
