9-inch plate Diet (A,K,A) Portion Control

I can't remember if it's the 9-inch plate or the 10-inch plate diet.  It's basically a catchy way of describing the age-old concept of portion control.  Eat whatever you want, as long as it all fits on a 9-inch plate.  And don't pile the plate high with food, and don't make the plate an artistic presentation of food.  It's a boring concept but it works.  My friend C.P. refers to this as the "Eat less food diet." 

So, today is my last day to decide what diet I will try for the first 2 weeks of the new year.  I will go with a combo of Portion Control + Soup Diet.  It's awfully cold these days... and warm cabbage soup sounds pretty good. 

I already got a big pot of oxtail soup going in the slow cooker right now!  Tomorrow begins the first day of my experiment!
