I need to start being more responsible about how I treat my body. The chocolates and ice cream need to give way to better choices!
As kids, some of us were taught to always clean our plates. This can affect us as adults, leading us to eat more when we're already full. There's a great article here about portion control. Do you practice smart portion control? What do you do to keep portions in check? Do you have a mental plan before you start eating? Do you buy pre-portioned foods?
(1) I live alone so it can be tough to prepare meals for myself without making too much food. Sometimes when I've made too much, I over-eat. I've been trying to save extra for left-overs, and I find that helps. Planning on using the extra food for lunches or dinners later in the week keeps me from eating that extra bit of food.
librarylover .... Me too! I understand! I try to write things down but that is hard too .... I need to keep myself focused all the time, Very hard indeed!
