in Health and Weight Loss
There are times when I feel I am wavering a bit from my healthy lifestyle. So I went out and bought some cheap bangle bracelets (gold, silver and black). I stack them on my right wrist - BLACK for WATER, GOLD for FRUIT, and SILVER for VEGGIES. I usually stack 6 black, 3 gold and lots of silver. Throughout the day, as I have a serving of any of the three, I move the bracelet from the right wrist to the left. I know how far I have to go. I do this when I may not have access to my food diary for the day or traveling. Sometimes I do it just to keep me honest. It can be as customized to you as you want it to be. Hope it helps!!

    I do bracelets too, but fabric ones the kids have made, I have one on my wrist for each 10lbs I want to lose, every 10 lbs I cut one off, feels good to see them go!!

    This is AMAZINGLY smart...I love it, now only to find bracelets that I can slip over my hand. They get stuck on my bone by my thumb...hopefully not for long. :) I can modify this idea.

    I have heard that people add them on as they lose weight as a reminder of where they have been and not to go back.

    I found them at the dollar store. No worries if they break. It's cheap yet practical.

    I like this adding them idea a lot too! As I think on this concept, it could also be a goal to "earn" a bracelet for every 5 or 10 pounds lost, depending on your weight loss goals (especially if you invest a small 10k , 14k or sterling silver kind) huh? And if you gain the 10 pounds back, you have to take it off as a "punishment" and restart again! I may really have to try this!

    I thought I was the only one who did that! I actually wear a ring on my thumb to remind me to eat healthy...when ever I'm tempted I just look at my ring. Surprisingly it works :)

    Dang! You women are amazing with your ideas!
    Now I have to figure out what colour, how many and am I counting up and / or down! Time to make a statement with new jewelry that has a purpose (that's how I am going to sell it to my husband!)

    :tongue:
