Tip of the Week

Okay, my tip this week would be that every 2 -3 months you need to take several days and pull out those measuring cups, spoons, scales, etc. and re-acquaint yourself with just how much you are really putting in the old pie hole. Over time, eye-balling it kinda gets blurred, if you know what I mean! Also, take the this time to log everything you are eating to get a true reading of what's going on.  Anyone else have any ideas to help those of us struggling?  Becky

Be sure you are in a support group of some kind, whether it be post ops from your Docs office .  Its the accountability of staying in goal, of weighing in, and the incredible support I get from others who know what struggles I am going through, that has made a difference in maintaining.

What a great idea.  You are so right about the "guesstimating"--ususally it is more than we guess!

My tip for when you start eating something you shouldn't--take one bite and then put the rest in the garbage disposal.  You get rid of the temptation, you get tired of spending the money, and you come to realize that the taste just doesn't match with the anticipation.

I just wish I could get a handle on how often Im eating, all this snacking is killing me, but its like Im posessed.  I try to eat fruit or something healthy, but still Im at it too much. hugs, Helen
