Little Plates. Big Hunger. & Rule #53

Oh my. I don't know if my recovery week helped anything. But we were able to regroup enough to experience Rule #52. This rule asked us to buy smaller plates and glasses because people that use smaller dishes eat less. This rule seemed absolutely ludicrous to us considering we have just registered and been receiving tons of dishes. NO MORE (except what we already registered for, of coarse). Instead of buying new dishes we just used the smaller dishes we already owned. Side note: We were we able to fit a lot more into a dish washer load this week!

See the pictures below. It looks like we are complete pigs because we have our little plates piled high. But, Ryan did notice that it seemed he was eating a better portion size. So, maybe this mental trick is worth something after all. Also, I included some bonus pics of a beautiful summer dinner party we had tonight. Sigh. That is the life.














This upcoming week we have Rule #53: Serve a proper portion and don't go back for seconds. MAN! I love my seconds. This week should be interesting.
