When I find something I like, I tend to want to eat a lot of it. Once a WW leader said that a healthy sized meal is basically the size of one of those frozen entrees, or what used to be an "airplane meal." (ha - remember those? the bad old days?) And then when I think about the size of restaurant meals -- I think that somehow became internally my idea of "normal." So I really applaud you for pushing that plate away. That is excellent. <abbr><em>Foodie McBody´s last blog post..<a href="http://foodfoodbodybody.wordpress.com/2009/02/27/bad-daygood-day/" rel="nofollow">Bad Day/Good Day</a></abbr></em> Portion control is definitely the bane of my existence as well.

I totally know what you mean when it comes to eating something that someone has made for you and/or feeling like you need to eat everything and not have leftovers. That's why I never make enough for leftovers - I really don't like them! But actually, I made pizza yesterday and managed to save half of it for the next day. That is HUGE for me. Thanks for sharing! Go Cubs :) <abbr><em>eatingbender´s last blog post..<a href="http://eatingbender.wordpress.com/2009/02/26/eyes-wide-shut/" rel="nofollow">Eyes Wide Shut</a></abbr></em> Your posts are so incredibly inspirational!!

Loving the new blog design! What a day of happiness. I struggle with food portions in a major way. Growing up, there was no end...my mom served decadent foods out of pure love...and I ate them...and then went back for 2nd and 3rds. It's a difficult habit to break, and I still have a hard time, but it looks like you're getting there. I'm really happy for you. How nice of Adam to clean - maybe he could have a little talk with my husband? Love the new dishes and Hooray for the Cubbies. My husband grew up on Chicago and is a huge fan. Have a good night - hope you get the baby blanket finished. <abbr><em>Heather McD (Heather Eats Almond Butter)´s last blog post..<a href="http://heathereatsalmondbutter.com/2009/02/26/ive-got-a-secret/" rel="nofollow">I’ve Got A Secret</a></abbr></em> Hey sweet Mara.

I'm still figuring out the high-tech stuff, but so far I'm getting it! hahaa :) I totally see where you're coming from with the eating food you WANT rather than NEED. I still have a hard time thinking I should ONLY eat the foods I need cuz wouldn't life not be fun??
