Leaving 2 bites

So I have been in Germany for about a month now and wow...I have enjoyed so many different yummy foods and beer while here. The waistline and weight has taken a toll because of this. I read an article recently about leaving a few bites left on your plate to help manage a little bit of your weight. In reality, this will only make a minor difference but I am willing to try this out. I have always been a member plus some of the "clean your plate" club. Thanks Mom and Dad! Anyway, I have been trying this at my breakfast buffet at the hotel the last few days. It has been hard but I have managed. I also been trying to eat fewer things from the buffet as well. I have been able to maintain this and eat a few snacks for my lunch.
