Portion Control February!

My first goal was to learn to cook and to try following a whole / real foods diet.  I'm still learning and enjoying both so sticking with it!  I am also looking to build on this by paying attention to my portions.  So on this page I will try to keep a picture of almost everything I eat this month.  I'm sure I'll forget to take a few pictures but my hope is that by doing this it will keep me thinking about it and that the visual will help me see progress.

END OF FEBRUARY NOTES:  Portions is something I'll need to continue to be very aware of.  Old habits die hard in terms of my eyes being bigger than my stomach.  The great thing with this way of eating is that so often I just can't finish my plate  ... it's TOO filling!
