Make it Gorgeous
Surprisingly, through this [unending] journey of weight loss and self discovery, I have come to enjoy food more, if that is even possible. One way that I have learned to enjoy eating smaller portion sizes, and to be satisfied by truly good food, is to make it gorgeous.
By "making it gorgeous" I mean having a variety of colors and textures, and making a beautiful photo op presentation on the plate.
Two weeks ago, I pulled some of my beautiful china from storage. The pieces in the collection are small and delicate with a creamy bright white color. The idea was brilliant! I decided that, while I served up breakfast and lunch on the plastic IKEA plates for the boys, I would feast off of $15 dessert bowls--it feels indulgent just using them to eat yogurt out of.
Now every time I sit down to breakfast, I feel like I am at a gourmet health spa.
