    I use toddler silverware and I also use small plates. By small I mean tea cup saucer size. I also dont drink 30 minutes prior to a meal or 60 minutes after. We were taught that if you drink water prior to eating, you are full quicker but my nutritionist advised that water helps break down your food quicker so you are hungry quicker. I was NOT a believer until I tried it for myself and its a true statement! :happy:

    Wash and prep all veggies on Sunday and bag them up so they are ready for salads, snacks, lunches, dinner, ect... I swear by this. I do a weekly menu for dinners too that makes life easier.

    Alternate between a scale and measuring tape to track your progress
    Have a target Outfit
    Try to plan your meals in advanace and have 5 -6 small meals per day
    Use the buddy system when you can for support
    Try not to eat 2-3 hours before bed
    Always keep a low cal snack with you for emergencies
    Drink water and if you must diet soda
    Exercise -- walk, jog, clean house, go shopping, etc just keeping moving for 30 minutes 3-4 times a week
    Don't deny yourself food, moderation is the key to life
    LOG ALL YOUR FOOD, it will help keep you honest

    Smile :bigsmile: when you see the skinny girl because you will get there in your own time.
    Change doesn't happen instantly, it takes time and patient

    My best dieting tip is...DON'T DO IT!!

    Change the words in your mind to 'healthy lifestyle' and it can make the world of difference in how you think of it!

    A life long journey is what I'm on....a journey of healthy and clean eating and moving everyday (oh but I HATE the packing..:huh: ) that's my tip....don't DIET unless you want to GAIN weight!:drinker:

    Lots of water...that's a good thing for everyone...water water and more water:drinker: :drinker:
