I seem to eat more when people drop by for lunch, dinner etc and we sit on the deck for longer. No one seems to take me up on the suggestion of an after meal walk. Guests are in relax mode and I sit and snack. ARGHH!! Anyone been there - done that and survived? Thanks!

    Put a big jug of ice water and glasses on the table... Whenever you want to snack on something, take a big gulp of water first. You'll fill your stomach with water long before you snack too much. You'll get your water intake so quickly too!!

    Are you snacking on leftovers? If so, put them away not too long after the meal is over. Try drinking water instead if you need to be doing something with your hands.

    My husband has a habit of noshing after meals, and he has the belly to prove it. :wink:

    Wow, I tried the water idea, and putting food away, and now feel more relaxed. Thanks!
