Exactly right! When I decided to quit doing things I couldn't do long term and opted for a complete lifestyle change, things feel into place and the scale showed it. I have small plates (and small bowls) too and it's just a small thing but makes a big difference. I know that bread and sugar are inflammatory foods for me and they pack on the pounds. I couldn't stand the thought of not eating those things. So I found a healthy way of eating that I can easily do for the rest of my life that enables me to things like eat bacon, cheeses and healthy fats daily. If I know I can have those things, I'm cool with not getting the bread and sugar! When you find something that feels right for you and you are longer looking at it as a diet, you won't feel like you need to hop from one thing to another.
