I found this .gov website quite by accident, and thought I'd share it with this discussion group.

3. Decades ago, when going out for dinner was an affordable normal for me

.

.

I used to confuse the waiter/waitress by asking for a "people bag".

It also occasionally embarrassed my date, but she always got over it.

Most know that the normal term was a "doggie bag".

Sometimes I had to explain to the server that I neither had a dog, nor intended to waste this food on a pet!

"take-out bag"

I'll have to remember that if I ever go out for dinner again . .

and off for 15 years, lol.

I never met a calorie I didn't like.

4. Weight Watchers teachers portion contol well

I'm not a big fan of Weight Watchers because I hate the meetings. Their information on portion sizes, however, is excellent. That's what helped me the most.
