As people age, it is becoming more and more tempting to eat more. Most of the time, we just give in and say, ‘Oh well, life is short. I might as well eat everything I want while I’m still alive.’ But living your life imagining how you’d look like with what those skinny models are wearing can also become a burden.

Have you been the target of postcard mailing tactics of those diet and slimming medications? So those companies thought that you can’t make ‘It’ happen without resorting to science. They may be right. But let’s prove them wrong no matter how hard it seems to be.

I am no expert with diet tactics. I have followed and broken so many rules before. But I read one just this moment that I think I can do. It says to eat in smaller plates.

When we use smaller plates for our meals, we won’t be tempted to fill them up to the brim. Okay, so this may be likened to eating smaller portions, smaller servings of each course. And this will be also as hard, especially when you are faced with oh so many mouth watering delicacies.

Oh God, give me those postcards and I’ll just pop in some pills. Dieting requires a lot of concentration and imagination, ain’t it? You have to concentrate to get only the right amount, no more, no less. You must also imagine that you are full even though you are still hearing your stomach grumbling like there is some kind of a storm.

Learn to be deaf with the noises that are coming from your tummy. That might lead you over the counter of a fast food chain, getting a fix with burgers, fries and soft drink. Now those wouldn’t need plates to begin with.

But you must choose the path that you want to take in order to succeed in dieting. Do you want to eat every good food before you die? Or do you want to be able to shop better clothes? I want both. So okay, where are those small plates?
