When I went to a nutritionist to help control the gestational diabetis, I was AMAZED at how helpful it actually was.

They give you a lot of practical information and mine showed me actual portion sizes. She had all these little plastic food samples that showed what I should actually be eating.

It's very easy to lose perspective with regards to portion size (especially in the US and when eating out).

I've managed to keep my weight down after having the baby but I honestly chalk this up to not eating out and being more active during the day. We don't do fast food anymore and we rarely eat at sit down restaurants, either (the baby makes it a bit more difficult to enjoy a leisurely sit down meal).

I hope you can get a consultation. Remember to not beat yourself up over it and stay positive. Small changes are easier to live with and keep up for the long haul.

Good luck!

Eating out is my big downfall. I can't afford it and yet I get in the trap where I don't make enough at dinners to have leftovers and then end up eating either frozen dinners or not remembering to take my lunch and getting fast food.

Last night I wanted a pb&j sandwich so I decided to measure out the portions -- 1 tbs peanut butter and 1 tbp jelly was a lot more than I thought it would be and totally satisfied me.
