Lessons I Have Learned

1. I eat every 2.5-3.5 hours (depending on how big my last meal was). Too much longer & I get a blood sugar low & I end up giving into my binge cravings.

2. I no longer buy cheese, unless it is feta or cottage. I just can't be trusted around it lol

3. I no longer buy popcorn on a regular basis. I'll eat it every day until it's gone if I have it in the house! I haven't had popcorn in a week or two. *not that popcorn is bad, but when it's 10cups coated in butter...ya it's horrible then)

4. Thin dark chocolate squares. I store them in the freezer and let them melt in my mouth. Works like a charm. All cravings satisfied for only 30 calories a square! (And I used to hate dark chocolate, but who knew that when I slowed down & savored it I'd love it!)

5. My Team Leader (supervisor) @ work loves to bake for us. When I find myself wanting some of itI drink 2-6 ounces of coffee. It puts a bitter taste in my mouth & supresses my cravings majorly. I do the same thing if I do cave-I need the taste of the food out of my mouth ASAP otherwise I go back for more!

6. I drink my coffee black now, and I like it!
