Good portion control slideshow

We typically eat WAY too much, which obviously results in weight gain. Food network right now has a really good slideshow that actually shows what a serving size of various foods looks like and gives an inanimate object as a reference point.

Is it just me, or do those serving sizes seem ridiculously small?!? I guess if you added several together, like 1 serving meat with 1 serving vegetables, and 1 serving fruit, it might be OK....



for a snack
I'd rather eat the ping pong ball than that freaky peanut butter in the slideshow. I thought it was pudding at first and was thinking "Who in the heck would eat 2 tablespoons of pudding?"
I watch my portions, but I definitely always eat more than the suggested "1 serving." Mr. J's ENTIRE family eats portion sizes. It drives me INSANE because I do not!!! Meal time comes and they always say "dig up, there's a ton of food and I don't want leftovers!!" ...and all I can think is only enough for me to consider my meal an appetizer. :( I am so glad if/when there is something leftover because I'm always starving and want more. ...and though I joke about being a pig, I really don't eat a lot (just on my cheat day). With that said, I think it's great that eat right/healthy, but I can't quite make it to their level when it comes to portions.
