I know this and really so do most of you. But I just wanted to say it anyway. I went to an Indian restaurant today for lunch and had the Lamb Palek. The portion was just right - a small wedge of naan, a bit of saffron rice, some salad (lettuce, tomato and cucumber on the side of the plate - but perfect with the meal) and a small bowl of the lamb/spinach entree. The whole thing fit on a plate not much larger than a bread plate in most restaurants and it was GOOD. It satisfied me without allowing me to over-stuff myself and made me feel good about eating it. I also had way more energy in the afternoon. Later I realized just how much oil was probably in the Lamb Palek but overall I still think it was a pretty healthy meal. What struck me was how satisfied I felt even though I had eaten just a small portion of what I usually would. I really need to remember this - I know it, I just don't like to live by it. I think I'm afraid I'm going to miss out on something but what did I miss here? Nothing. I need to adopt more of a "small bites" mentality. I can still have several different things on my plate - but only a couple of bites of each. That way I still get to taste all the different flavors but I don't overdo it. Yeah. I'll let you know how that goes for me.
