Tiny Plates

GuitarGirl99

Over the years my mother has been weeding out her belongings and downsizing....giving to me many of the household items that she is about to get rid of. I am always invited to "shop" in her basement before she loads it out to various local thrift shops as donations. Several years ago she gave me a small stack of the most beautiful clear blue plates. They are just over 8" in diameter. I often use these as my dinner plate. They look positively overflowing with a very modest portion of food. I really think that this little brain trick works well for me and is very useful when I am trying to eat less, especially at the end of the day. Best re-gift ever, Mom!

Lot's of people use smaller plates, for just this reason.

I have been using small plates for a long time. It really does a great job of visually tricking me!
