One of the things that is a big part of NoS, is coming to a good
understanding of Portion Controle. However, this only works when you
are the person controling your portions (at home or at a Buffet). It's
alot harder to controle how much you eat when someone else is
controling the ammount you get and you are in the habit of finishing
everything on your plate. 

The thing to remember is that you don't have to eat everything you are
given. It's not so easy to do (hands up everyone who was told about
the starving children in africa to encourage plate clearing). You just
need to keep reminding your self that even though you may not control
how much food you get, you can control how much you eat.
