Worldly Portions

I've been thinking a lot lately about portions. Our society is all about losing weight and looking like your 20 again. Well, I'm not 20 and have gained some weight since then :) I'm the type of person that never had to worry about weight. Until I hit my mid~thirties. I've gone through *mourning* over my old self. I've had three kids, which i'm heavier now than after having my 3rd child. My point is, our worldly portions are so huge.

1. restaurants pile on the food.
2. you can super size almost anything.
3. grande is one of child's vocab. words.
4. snacks, snacks and more snacks!
5. the saying *you can't eat just one* is a motto.
6. commercials and more commercials showing us fattening food.

I could go on and on. When my husband, daughter and I we're in Haiti visiting our son. I realized how little food you could safely consume in one day. We mainly had a light breakfast and dinner. A few handfuls of trail mix and lots of water. We didn't snack all day or eat huge portions. Let me tell you I felt much better not being loaded down with all that food.

Lets not forget all the staring orphans. I don't say that lightly. My son was an orphan. He is from the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. There are so many adults and children starving to death.

What can we do? First, lets just start with smaller portions. The extra money we safe we can help others.
