Train yourself to get in the habit of having enough, but not too much. Eat as little or as much as you need, slowly, over time, to achieve a balance that's right for you.
You learn this from a process of slowly cutting back, just a little at a time, on the foods you enjoy.
If you're eating three fast food burgers every lunch, try two. If you're having two slices of pizza, have one. If you're having a piece of meat, two or three side dishes, and a couple of drinks--just have one side and one drink (and make that one water, how 'bout?)
Just a little less will be more than enough, and over time, you'll slowly lose weight without having to give up the foods you love.
I recommend weighing yourself only once per month. Same day, time, place. Try weighing yourself first thing in the morning, before breakfast, after your morning “constitutional.” Then write it on a piece of paper, with the date, amount, and variation up or down.
Once a month is enough. If you weigh yourself more than that, it’s easy to get lost in small variations that may scare you into taking measures that are too dire.
Be reasonable with the pounds. Weighing yourself more than once a month never presents an accurate picture. You certainly don’t want to just see water weight changes; those are not real fat pounds. Some days you may go up slightly because of water or the weight of what you ate.
What you want is the net result of changes; the long-term not the short term fluctuations.

Here is a tip I learned while attending WW.
Get a couple of serving spoons and measure how much one scoop is when dishing up your food. An example is --I have a fairly large serving spoon that is about 1/2 c when I use it to serve things like rice, potatoes, etc. It is a good way to keep your portions under control without everyone knowiing you are measuring your food. Also after a while for using this method you get to know what a portion of each food looks like so when you are eating out you can judge your portions even when measuring isn't possible.
This time, the theme is going to be autumn/Halloween so your stories need to use smilies to express as many words as possible and your story should be focused on anything that has to do with autumn or Halloween.
Members will be allowed to submit one story pertaining to a Halloween story and one story pertaining to an autumn story. Please click here to enter!
Special thanks to RobertaD for sponsoring this contest. Be sure to visit her Avon website!
It's time for another smiley story contest!
