I thank you all again for your input. I had mentioned that I would let you know the outcome. Small plates. small saucers, paper plates, napkins, styraform plates, even cutting the edge off the styraform plate but all to no avail. She is small, but not really thin. The only treats she is allowed is her food. She likes them. Being a nurse, I decided to monitor her stool. It is regular and solid. I am no longer taking the food out of her bowl. So all I can say is she must be eating enough for a 3 lb dog. Survival instints are usually very strong. I will let you know in another month if tough love worked.
