portions in pictures.. quick update

So I have been taking pictures of my food before I eat it. I have noticed that I haven't snacked as much. mostly because I don't want to find my phone and take a picture. Since I have been being honest about what I eat I knew I had to choose one or the other. I chose not to eat it. But I did SEE how disproportionate my servings are. Reality is that my spaghetti is 2 times a than a suggested serving size. I have to cut that in half. I think I am going to take Tracy's advice and eat off of a sandwich plate. Part of my problem is the filling the plate mentality.
 
This was last nights dinner. It didnt look like much last night, thats why I doubled up on the french fries and meat. As I look at it now I realize, once again I need a smaller plate, but that was alot of fries and the second piece of meat is a little much.

Its really interesting to SEE what you are eating from a different angle. 

I have made sure to get my exercise in Monday and Tuesday. Now I need to go out there and get todays done.

So a moment for prayer.
Dear God, thank you for today. I am so blessed to know you. Thank you for helping me on my journey. I am listening and I know you are talking to me. I will do my best to be a faithful servant and to speak your word and live in your light.
