    One cup is about the size of your hand (for most women) so half that would be half cup is the way I try to judge when trying to eat smaller portions.

    Everyone's advice is good and I'm glad I came on and found this post as I will be facing a similar dilemma tomorrow! Everyone is right though -- fruits, veggies, meats (not fried!!), etc. Most importantly - don't beat yourself up over it -- consider it a small bump in the road and not a defeating moment by any means.

    Finally I must say if you have lost 28# since January -- you know exactly what needs to be done and you will be just fine. Congratulations on the great loss!!

    Fill up on veggies! Then pick only the dishes you love! Have a little of everything. Stop eating it if its not as good as you had hoped!

    And remember shrimp (not battered) and crab and fish and grilled chicken are great choices!

    Skip the pastas and dried out rolls, etc.

    Good luck! You've got this!

    Do what works for you :) People will probably look at you funny because some can be rude and cruel.

    I have religiously used food scale and measuring cups and spoons to the point that I don't need them anymore the adequately measure anything. Good luck and have a wonderful time.
