Here are a few ways you can control how much you eat:    * As soon as your food is served, ask for a box and put half of your meal into it, to take home. Restaurant portions are usually twice the size they should be anyway.    * Don't ruin a nice, low fat salad with creamy dressing. Go for the vinaigrette or oil and vinegar, and use them sparingly.    * Don't let yourself down by getting (or sharing) a dessert. Order some fruit or Jell-O instead, if you must have something sweet.    * Arrive with a healthy meal in mind and ask for it without opening your menu. This will spare you the pain of looking at an array of temptation.    * After each bite, put your fork down, and don't pick it up again until you've completely swallowed the last bite.    * Drink a glass of skim milk before you leave your house.    * Look for restaurants that serve "contemporary", "spa" or "California" cuisine.    * When ordering seafood, choose the leanest types, such as haddock, sole, trout, scallops, shrimp and crab. </blockquote>
