Good Morning! 🐓🌞

Before I joined the FS family and started paying attention to my eating patterns, I had NEVER even thought to consider the SIZE of my plate! But ya know what? Since I switched to using a 'salad' plate (and yes, I bought some pretty ones from the thrift store to make it more appealing) I can see 👀 how much difference it makes in 'tricking' me into thinking I'm getting PLENTY of food. My plate is full!! (yet not piled high😉) This whole CICO/counting calories way of life doesn't HAVE to be boring or burdensome...there are little ways to keep it interesting and creatively pleasing (even).

As far as the portions using our hands, I have seen many (and will probably share many) different versions/illustrations. Today's was found on a diabetic site and differs from others I have seen about the meat portioning. I tend to disagree with this one that includes the fingers, others say only the size of the palm is equivalent to a serving of meat.

That's the thing. There is a ton of info out there and I think that each of us can gain something useful to keep tucked away in our 'toolbox' that helps us, as individuals, to succeed. You may not find everything I post to be worth tucking away...but maybe...just maybe...you will find a valuable 'tool'

I share because I care 💙💙💙
