Measure your food???

Hi everyone, This may seem like a stupid question or like something I should know at this point in the game but I don't, so here is my question: How do you know you have had 2 oz or 3 oz of chicken, shrimp or any other type of food? How are you measuring your food to stay on track? When I go out its easy because they usually mention they are serving you a 10 oz steak and I just cut that in 10 equal pieces. But, if I am cooking at home for the family it is a little more tricker. How do you know how many oz's you are eating? Thanks, Dawn

I don't measure my food. So I'm not any help. I just eat smaller portions than everyone else. Hugs, anna

I measure to a point. By now I know how much of most things. I do have a measuring cup for my grapenuts. Liquids you use a cup and meats you use a scale. My parents even measure everything they eat, keeps them on track, they did not have the surgery. It is important to know how much you are eating. Over time, you can start to eat more, even though the stomach will get by with less. This can happen from any number of things, mostly sitting and eating over time. Stuff goes out easier now and lets more go in. So if you are socializing, you can over eat, found that out last week. So yes, you need to keep an eye on what you eat, not only how much, but how many calories. Weigh often too, don't let more than a couple pounds creap up without working on loosing them. These are the things I still do to this day. Good luck
