Weight Loss Secrets
The tried-and-true habits that have helped you lose weight the right way.
I found if I didnt have my meals prepared and ready for me to take with me to work I would make hazardous choices ( I would often later regret). They keep telling us and its definitley true...be prepared and you will definitley succeed!
I have found that one of the keys for me to continue to lose weight is to make sure I do something that makes me sweat every day. Whether it's a formal workout, cleaning house, doing yard work, or something else, getting my body moving long enough and hard enough to sweat helps!
I live a little over a mile from the grocery store, so when I need just one or two light items, I walk instead of driving!
I have lost 40 pound over the last year by tracking my food and exercise activities. This allowed me to see everyday that I was doing the right things to achieve my goal. It also helped me to learn how to make the right choices about what I eat. So TRACK YOUR PROGRESS! It will help!
use the small remekins for desserts like ice cream,puddings, mashed taters etc.. to help with portion conrol
Everything in moderation.
Don't Leave "Temptation" On The Table at Meal Time.
Put a serving of whatever you are eating on your plate and close up any boxes, bags, bowls or other containers and put them away immediately. It's too easy to pick at it or worse yet decide on another whole serving if it is left sitting in front of you on the table.
When the weather permits we dish up our plates and take them outside to eat. By not sitting near the serving dishes with the food, we eat what is on our plates and not more.
try low calorie sides and entrees a couple of times before the holidays to ensure they work and will be enjoyed, add them to the meal and subtract the higher calorie item next time
Eat what you want but with moderation
It is so difficult but it comes down to that. We all know it. And you know? Besides loosing weight our wallet grows. Yes growing is possitive. Why spend so much on diet products. In stead of a spoon of peanutbutter take just half a spoon. You still have the taste but half the calories. Goodluck!!
