portion control idea that works for me!
Being one to eat too quickly, I mean TOO QUICKLY...
I accidentally discovered this trick to make food on my plate simply last longer, henceforth I feel like I ate more than I did:
In the workroom all the regular sized forks were MIA. No spoons were available either. The only "silverware" left was a tiny fork - the kind you'd use to pick up a bread & butter pickle from a serving dish.
So, I grabbed it (thinking I really shouldn't use my fingers to eat an omelet) and low and behold it took me a LONG time to eat that omelet with such a tiny fork!
I could have easily put away an omelet twice the size with a regular fork, simply because I could fit so much more on my plate. But with the little one...I feel like I ate just as much.
I now also know that my trigger for feeling "full" is way off kilter since the small serving truly did fill me up...but with a bigger fork I would have done double.
Little things that make a difference!
