When dining out at a restaurant, do you ever feel the need to finish all the food on your plate?
You're not alone! Since large portions have become the norm in most restaurants, the perception of portions has become distorted. Plus, it can be hard to stop eating once the food is in front of you!
When you combine large portions with the urge to order more food than you need and the impulse to eat every bit of food on your plate, it tends to equal overeating and can lead to gradual weight gain.
"This isn't a race and it's ok to make changes slowly so that they stick. I find the everything at once method is too much. Try different things, it's a learning experience for all of us. You've got this!"
