My new meme

mik3capI've been losing weight since June, and I've been doing it by eating less. I exercise on and off, but primarily the weight loss is just from fewer calories.
So, I want to start a campaign, make stickers and stuff; white text on black background: EAT HALF.
That's the meme. Just eat half. Save the other half for another meal. Don't clean your plate, forget the starving children in China... eat half and leave the rest.
If a person can do this - if he or she can just eat half of what he or she normally heaps onto a plate - he or she will consume half the calories they normally would. That is a significant way to lose weight, and it will help people get their caloric needs back into focus.
I think a lot of people just don't realize how many calories they're putting into their bodies these days. Serving sizes at convenience stores, movie theatres, and fast food chains are getting totally ridiculous. "Eat half" could be a simple way to inject a little thought into people's eating habits...
