1. Bring a packet-like the oatmeal packets

2. Eat with blue?-Research found that the color blue is a natural appetite suppressant. So get blue plates, napkins or placemats and see if it helps.

3. Snack on popcorn - it's mostly air, but more filling than a candy bar or peanuts and doesn't have many calories.

4. Eat alone-studies find you eat more when dining with others. If you eat with one person it increases 35% and 75% if you are dining at a table of four!

5. Trying eating with your nondominate hand-you'll eat slower

6. Listen to calm music while you eat-did you know it takes 20min for your brain to tell your stomach you are full?

I should try the blue one to see if it works!! I also liked the first one..eating packet foods. Then you know you are eating the right proportion. I guess you just have to make sure you don't eat more than one, which I am guilty of!

The last one always amazes me because I'm done and digesting my meals in about five minutes lol.  Also taking smaller bites of your food helps you to eat less. 

I have noticed that when I'm with other people I tend to eat more. Maybe because you just get carried away and enjoy yourself more? I'm not totally sure, but I know when I go out to a restaurant and it is family style, since there are so many options I tend to eat a little bit of everything, which is still way too much food and afterwards I feel sick because I'm so full. But, when I'm alone, I either don't eat or munch on something small.
