Weighing In - Week Eighteen

For “Weighing In”, you should post the following things: (1) your weight loss, maintenance or GAIN (yes, own up to it if it's true) for the past week (2) your personal goal for the rest of the week (try to restrict it to one) and (3) your anticipated non-food reward for achieving that goal. Since it seems we are all choosing to weigh-in on Tuesdays, I will try to create a post for every new week the day before we weigh-in (Mondayish). This would be a good post to add encouraging words for other individuals as well.

Tips and Tricks - Week Eighteen

Tip: Don't Leave Home Hungry! Before you leave for your event, make sure you're not hungry. If you are, have something simple like a piece of fruit, two low-fat string cheese sticks, or a yogurt or a multi-grain cracker with a serving of low-fat peanut butter on it. All of these will help fill you up and give you control over the foods you choose.

Trick: Go splitzies on EVERYTHING! You and your significant other probably have different tastes, but if you can get them to help you out, everyone will be happier. Anything (absolutely anything) you decide to eat, immediately cut/break it in half and give half to someone else (like your significant other). Even if you go back for seconds or even thirds, you are still likely to eat less in the long run. We do tend to feel embarrassed when people see us going back for more and more and more......
