Bigger Plate = Bigger Belly

One of my biggest issues is portion control.  Today I read an article that states that the bigger your plate is, the more food you are likely to put on it.   Therefore you are more likely to eat a larger portion than if you had a small plate.  We have been using our salad plates instead of our dinner plates and it makes a huge difference.  Same goes with glasses.  People put more juice in a wide short glass than a tall skinny one.

I must not be the only one who has issues with this because there are a lot of products out there to help with portion control.  Check out "measure up bowls" online.  Even Target carries them.  I might just have to get some.
