An Intro to my Diet Plan

On my birthday, at 4am, my boyfriend brought up my favorite ice cream cake and sang happy birthday to me! After serving me a slice, he pulled out a ring and proposed! I am so excited to begin my life with him and I want to begin our new life with a renewed self image. So, here I am, one of those brides, getting in shape for her wedding!
This page is as much to keep myself accountable as it is to help other brides on their journey (or those who just want some down to earth, friendly dieting tips) I am not an expert (although, sometimes I feel like one), these are just lessons learned from my experiences.

How much is 3 ounces?

A big issue for diets is the portion size, so how much is 3 ounces or 1 cup really?  Get acquainted with portion sizes by taking out your measuring cups and spoons and filling them with your favorite foods!  Then, take the food out and place it on your plate, voila!  You are now aware of how much space that portion takes up on your plate!  See how much mixed greens you can get out of 1 cup! 1 Tbsp of olive oil is not as much as you may think!  3 ounces of a steak is about half of a standard filet mignon when you go out to dinner!
