    Exactly where I am having problems!!!! I haven't had the food thing under control for a while... beer... birthday cake... pizza... this weekend. A year ago I wouldn't have thought of having the pizza and cake. I would still have the beer though :drinker: LOL

    Eat to live - not live to eat!!! I keep trying to convince myself of this. I went grocery shopping yesterday and tried to make some good choices - chicken, tomatoes, tortillas, string cheese, and so on :bigsmile:

    We can do this!!! The exercise is going well I just need to get this food thing under control....

    We are getting into the "eating" season. Time to make our defensive strategy. Let's have fun and be smart! I'll share a few of my ideas... What's your game plan?

    I will be cooking for a houseful and I seem to think I need to "model" how great the food is. Not to mention the snacking during the cooking process!
    * A nice bowl-ful of fresh chopped veggies in front of me while I am preparing the food.
    * Good healthy choice to make your main snack or dish and eat lightly of the others.
    * The wine? Alternate a huge glass of water with the wine.

    Hoosiermomma: Thanks for reminding me about the holidays coming they are
    just around the corner. We will be in Michigan for the Thanksgiving holiday visiting
    my girlfriend's daughter and family. So I don't have control over the eating plan.
    I hope to stay on track because the only exercise I will get is the Black Friday shopping. :bigsmile:

    Goldk: I hear about the weekends being hard to control eating. I had that problem all summer.
    We are sailors in the summer and there is always food and alchohol and partying going on.
    So keep strong on the weekends and try and stay under your calories so you can enjoy the extra. :drinker:
