21)Here's a partial quote I say to myself when I want to cheat:
"Even though
I overeat in private, my excess poundage is there for all the
world to see
how foolish I have been." Those words help me not to cheat and
help me stick
to my goal of weight loss.
22)I eat because I think it can solve my problems. When I have
chocolate, it
cures headaches and mental blocks. When I am depressed, I have ice
cream,
when I am angry, eating helps me calm down. After all that eating
I get upset.
going to gain weight, then I eat more (try writing this down and
stick to the
fridge)
23)When dining out and the portions are too large, try over
salting the extra
before you start eating. I find that it's easier to say no before
I have even
taken a bite and no one else at the table has to know my willpower
is weak!
Even though I've ruined the food, I'm always glad I did.(*note i
would try
pepper...the salt is no good for you if you do give in and eat
it)
24) just another quote for ya..Nothing tastes as good as being
thin feels
25)when I feel bad about throwing away left-overs, I say "I'd
rather waste it
than wear it".
26)Strange HINT* Add the cereal TO the milk instead of adding milk
to the
cereal, and just sprinkle about 1/4 of what you think you'll eat,
then add
more. WHY? First because its always crunchy then, and second,
you'll eat MORE
cereal and less milk.
27) Keep variety in your diet. Make sure that at each meal you
have a variety
of temperatures, textures, and flavors. This satisfies all
cravings and you
will find that you eat less at each meal and are not hungry for
snacks.
(*i cant see how this works but..)
28)Also, a cup of warm water with a teaspoon of tea and a
tablespoon of cider
vinegar after every meal helps keep your weight down. It will also
make you
sleep well and take away any tiredness. My friends and I have
tried it and it
works!(* i suggest the cold water and sleep is good but more than
8hours/day
will slow down the metabolism rate)
29) Tuna is virtually fat free and is good for any meal (even
breakfast).
I've found that tuna can be mixed with any fat free salad dressing
or plain
non-fat yogurt and it tastes better than mayo! Experiment with
tuna, add
relish, tomato, basil, fat free swiss cheese.
30)I have found that if you have a tendency to snack a lot and
have a sweet
tooth, keep some hard candy around instead of cookies and
chocolate
