I am trying to downsize portions so I only eat half of what is on my plate and give the rest to Murphy.

I have been working seriously on weight loss since the beginning of September and am determined to be below 200 by my birthday in March.

Hope everyone's week has started off just the way it should food wise.
I've heard that the first bite tastes the best & after 3 bites your taste buds don't process the taste any more...we just keep eating trying to get that first bite taste again. Not sure I buy it but maybe? I decided today that every bite left on my plate counts! If I can only leave a few bites behind; that is still a few bites not on my behind! :lol:
