ideas for visual/psychological adjustment to our new tiny portions

[Papillon 7]

That was what I was thinking... maybe I would not focus so much on the size of the food if I had fun making it look cute. haha

I too have been using small dessert plates for my meals. I also use the small sizes of tupperware dishes that come in the variety sets and I bought some of the small round disposable plastic bowls (which I don't throw away).

(This link I posted has a good picture but it's for a bulk order. They can be ordered in smaller amounts if you can't find them in the store.)

These are going to be a life saver for me when I go back to work because I'll be able to pack several different meals/snacks in these little containers and fit them all in my work cooler with my drinks. I'm sure I'll get lots of comments on my small little bowls of food, but oh well, who cares!:thumbup1:
