I am no longer leading my own WW meetings due to a conflict at work. So last night I went to Deb Nockert's meeting just like the old days. I really needed to go back and listen. I miss leading a meeting - but more so I miss the weekly reminder that this will always be something I will have to pay attention to.
The topic this week was on portion control. She did a great job of visually showing us with the scale and the measuring cups how important it is to use them. Some items the group under guessed and some over. Underestimated the points/quantities of bagel and wine but found we could have more peas than first expected. Definitely areas that can get us into trouble when estimated incorrectly.
So this week my friends - pull out the measuring cups and the food scales. Just for shits and giggles weigh your food. Measure your food. Look at the labels on the items and SEE what a portion size is supposed to be and then actually measure it out. Let me know if you have any eye-openers. I'll bet you will!
And by the way - if you measure out a portion and it's more than your tummy has room for. You don't HAVE to eat it all. I'm just sayin'.

On the topic of portion control…I think this product has just come out, since I can’t find it in stores. I ordered it online from www.PortionControl.net since they offer free shipping. It’s definitely a why-didn’t-I-think-of-that product, and it really helps me with daily portion control, while making my cooking easier and tastier. I LOVE THEM. It’s really a nifty idea, and I recommend it if you like cooking at home but are struggling with eating right.
