[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 560838, member: 6546"] I remember reading about this on the board before....was that you, Janet? I thought the smaller plates was a great idea - so I tried it. I told husband I was going to use smaller plates - and at first he agreed this was a good idea, but then when he actually saw that I was using a 10-inch plate for dinner (instead of a 14-inch plate) he got really upset. What??? You can still fit an awful lot of food on a 10-inch plate. And I didn't make enough food for second helpings and BOY was he upset about THAT! I don't think it's necessary to cut out foods that you love. Chocolate, cookies, ice cream, potato chips - I think it's fine in small amounts. The other night, difficult child made a "family-size" tray of brownies in a 13 x 9 inch pan. difficult child had one small brownie. DS had one small brownie. I had none. husband had more than half the tray just about right out of the oven. That's totally uncalled for - and downright rude to everyone else.. Janet--I'm glad to hear you have a plan that lets you eat some treats and still lose weight! I think it's awesome! I am not looking to make husband "diet" or to be "skinny" or anything like that - I just need to get the rampant eating under control [/QUOTE]
