Okay -- Here's the biggest tip I can give you (and most of you have already figured it out!):
INDIVIDUAL PACKAGING !!!
Yep, even if it's twice the price...buy anything you can in individual packs so your portion is already controlled. For instance, I love, love, love potato chips (I am a true carbaholic!) and switched to the Baked Lays when we started this last year. The problem was, I could still sit there and eat an entire bag. So I noticed they now have a variety pack of Baked Lays that are 1 oz servings. I have been buying them ever since I found them. And the best part is now that they last a long longer, I buy them less often so even though they cost more to start with -- I'm actually saving money.
This applies to cookies and ice cream too. I can honestly say that I have not eliminated these things from my diet -- I've just modified them. I knew I had to make a lifestyle change that I could truly live with and I couldn't picture myself never eating sweets again (they are so near and dear to me -- LOL). So you just have to educate yourself on what the better choice is.
I hope everyone has an excellent week!!!
