By Request

Here is the poem that Barbara read at the end of last night's meeting:

Hand It to Portion Control

Let’s eat out and keep control.
Use your hands to grab your goal.
Cup or read your palm, don’t cheat.
Gauge two ounces of nuts or three of meat.
Use your thumb or just the end …
one ounce, or a tablespoon above the bend.
Clench your fist to estimate,
a cup of food upon your plate.
The tip of the index finger means
a teaspoon, to keep you in your jeans.
Only eat the points you planned.
Trust yourself and use your hand.

(don't forget to wiggle your thumb when you get to that part - I think that's what really put it over the top!)
