The times when I've resorted to measuring quantities I've been astounded. I read a book called Mindless Eating, which will surprise you. It teaches the triggers that make us eat when we are not really hungry, or when we are full and continue eating. I strongly recommend it. It's a real eye-opener :-)Vannessa@Luxuriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13004543876391503184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806321148001582068.post-33595377668435572222012-06-17T21:32:10.496-04:002012-06-17T21:32:10.496-04:00Celia,

I have my Grandma's wedding china (about 100 yrs old by now..) and the plates are much smaller. The second diagrams showing fist-size portions is excellent and one that I used when I was working in Dietetics. I still do this for myself! :) Americans are known for super-sizing and I also think we eat too fast. If we eat slower and savor each bite maybe that would help?<br /><br />Love all your thoughts and thanks so much for stopping by my blog to say hi.<br /><br />leslieLesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11280782743483018226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806321148001582068.post-26959224087690778002012-06-17T21:10:00.577-04:002012-06-17T21:10:00.577-04:00I forgot to mention that I am Speech-Language path...I forgot to mention that I am Speech-Language pathologist by training, though not practicing at the moment as I am at home with my 2 girls, but I am intrigued to learn more about that aspect of your journey.

I had an injury that took me out of my 'normal' active self for about a year. Nothing compared to what you have gone through but enough to understand even to a small degree the major up and down roller coaster it causes. You are a fantastic writer and it is inspiring to read what I have read thus far. I look forward to more in the future as I follow along on your journey.KC Coakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00737922459758864089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806321148001582068.post-302486516398966212012-06-17T18:44:11.419-04:002012-06-17T18:44:11.419-04:00I guess the question is: did the plates get larger...I guess the question is: did the plates get larger and we got fat or we got fat and they began making the plates larger to accommodate our new found appetite? Either way, you're totally right about big plates, I use the smaller salad plates at home, and I get so mad when I see the size of plates used at restaurants.

This lunch time I was complaining about my too small plates from my wedding china. It is such an 8.5 Inch size. So true that we all get used to huge plates. I use the large ones mainly for charger, they are from Pillivuyt France but they're actually called dinner plate!<br />Thanks for pointing this out, in a very visual and convincing way. You are a great teacher!<br />Love and hugs to you both + furbabies!<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.com
