I find that if I drink water from 20 oz plastic bottles I am able to drink more. If you can drink 3 of these bottles you have most of your 64 ozs down the hatch!
I read recently about wrapping your celery in aluminum foil. Of course, I tried it and it really works!
When I make sugar-free gelatin, I add either orange juice or sparkling diet soda in -place of ice water. It gives a different flavor.
I just found out if you keep a bunch of celery wrapped in aluminum foil that it stays crisp.
I have a raisin bank into which I put only quarters. When I get $10 worth I roll them and when they collect I take them to the bank to exchange for bills. We use them to pay a sitter for our cat when we go on vacation.
When I want to relax and use my brain at the same time I enjoy doing crossword puzzles. I enjoy the stimulation and it helps me concentrate on this one thing that I am doing, hence I do not crave food.
As I have read before, drinking lots of water helps in weight loss. Sometimes when I think I am hungry, I will grab a bottle of water to drink. One trick I use is to add a flavored fiber powder. and that seems to help. You can have your cake and eat it too.
This is really not a secret but something one has to do to lose weight. Just keep on keepin' on. Take one small step at a time.
