I finally did the 50% rule
Never felt so good afterwards!! I only ate half of my dinner last night - pasta and pot roast. Just a very few small pieces of bread broken off the loaf, and a salad. I was so proud of myself and felt so much better this morning - no stuffed and bloated feeling. The 50% rule does work!!!! I will continue to use it. Have been walking 30 minutes per day also!!MIREILLE'S CALENDAR

Great Job!
Being a visual person myself, the 50% rule has been the easiest way for me to control my food portions. It is a wonderful way to stay mindful (and thankful) for the tasty delights that are on my plate! @+ :)cwlorente

Really like your idea!
Thanks Joanne for your advice and update. A portion is any size you make it. I'm also trying to round things out with clear broths(low-salt)and really big salads with lots of good vinegar,like balsamic, and a splash of olive oil. Bon appetit!
