You know always comparing to get the best "bang for your buck!".
Comparing things like, I could have 2 bite sized snickers, or I can eat 10 warheads...or I can have a small handful of nuts, or a 6" piece of lasagna (this was my realization this morning!).

LOL
Yes absolutly......I am also very good at following my budget and not buy on impulse0 -
I do lol thats why I dont drink my cals anymore. I can save a couple hundred a day doing that and get a good snack in plus the water flushes the **** out for better weight loss
ooo Good point! That's why I totally cut out drinking my calories too. I'd rather eat them...well...unless its starbucks...but I can wiggle in 130 calories for a caramel smothered frappuccino...now if only I could spend my calories LIKE money to buy the dang thing.0 -
What I find myself doing, is I notice how many calories I have left for dinner and when I want more I go out and exercise so I can eat what ever it is I want later. 300 calories left for dinner isn't gonna make it for me. So funny that I'm exercising so I can it eat more.0
