When I weighed myself on wednesday(my weigh day) I had lost 2 lbs! Total of 7.8 lbs lost.
A few tips I have found so far:
1- Substitute fat with flavor, Mrs. Dash is awesome...
2- Eat smaller portions. One tip I read somewhere is when you go out to eat, put half of your meal in a to go container right when you get it. That way you have lunch for tomorrow.
3-Eat slowly, and savor every bite. Put your fork, or food, down between bites. I watched an episode of "I can make you thin" once and he said overweight(fat) people think of food all the time, except when they're eating it. After I heard that I realized it's so true!
4- When you feel hungry, have a glass of water and reevaluate. Some people think they're hungry sometimes, when they're really thirsty. Sometimes I'll feel hungry after I just ate, and I'll drink a glass of water and I feel full again.
5- Eat when you're hungry, stop when you're full.
I don't remember where I heard all of those. All I can say is I think they're genius
... Sometimes I don't follow all of those tips, but I'm working on it...
