Give me tips for portion control

This was an issue for me, and not one that I found an easy way of getting over. Rather than just trying to "learn self control" I decided to try to work with my desire for a big meal rather than against it, and came up with my own variation of IF (if you need a buzz term to use). I'd have my morning coffee+creamer, then a small snack in the afternoon, and then a large dinner that left me feeling very satisfied. Afternoons were sometimes tough to power through, but knowing I'd have a big dinner when I got home helped me power through. Or, sometimes, I'd just be too hungry earlier, so I'd make my big meal my "lunch" and then wouldn't need much at dinner time.

Since then, my lunches have stayed small (but are actually a small meal now) and my dinners have shrunk a bit, and my appetite in one sitting has started to adjust, but it took probably close to half a year or so for my body to adjust.
