I've never had as much gum in the past as I have over the past year. I think it helps a lot, too.

Ah, one other thing that's helped me lately --
My girlfriend and I split meals when we go out -- not just the check, but the plate, too. She does it because it's fun (yes, we're THAT couple, the one whose cuteness makes you gag.. lol), but we also end up eating reasonable portions of whatever we've ordered. A 1500-calorie entree (which is midrange among restaurant food) becomes a decent amount for normal people.
