Similar to ny biker...I'm a member of the Clean Plate Club. So, I started using smaller plates! I even started a collection of beautiful handmade plates, in the salad plate size, and I use them for every meal (except Thanksgiving!). My husband does it, too.

I had the idea that I should spend a morning cooking up an entire day's worth of food. Food that I would normally eat on a typical day, all measured out, like on the Today show or something. And then just visually stimulate my mind to realize how much food that is in one day! Then I could play with volume of the good veggies and other things to see how I could increase the amount of food without increasing the calories.

What can I say? Sometimes you need to draw me a picture for me to understand!

I'm going to do it....I'll take a day from my food diary. If I take pictures, I'll post them.
