"You don't have to eat alot of something for it to taste good".
Sometimes when something tastes good we think we need to eat ALOT of it.  Most the time it tends to be unhealthy food but not always.  Too much of anything is not a good thing.  So what should you do when something is just SOOOO good?  Here are a few steps to try.

Take 1 helping; put it on your plate.
Eat that helping SLOWLY.
Wait 30 seconds between each bit to really enjoy the flavors.
When you are done with your 1 serving put your plate away and walk away :)
If you are at your house put the food away so you aren’t tempted to keep eating.

So often when something tastes good we eat it fast and then go back for seconds.  One of the things I always seem to get trapped into is just eating 1 bit out of the serving dish, you know to save calories.  Just a little taste. . . then another.  . .then another.  The "just a taste” turns into me eating more than if I would have just got a plate and taken a serving.  So slow down, taste and enjoy your food and walk away knowing you stayed within your calories.
