Weight loss tips?

Everyone tells you to eat smaller portions. It's not easy to do that, especially if your an emotional eater like lots of us are. Too bad people won't tell you how to eat smaller portions.

This is what helped me. I'm a total snacker, I love snack foods and enjoy several snacks a day. It's a bit more expensive but i started buying all of my snacks in individual sized bags. 100 calorie snack packs or cookies, single serving sized bags of popcorn, things like that.

I also worked on subsituting lots of foods that I liked. Instead of sitting down with a tub of ice cream, I bought healthy choice ice cream bars and would just eat a single bar. I put nonfat milk in my coffee instead of sugar, went from regular cola to diet cola.

Nothing has worked faster for me than Atkins. There's one HUGE problem with it though...seems like the minute you try to add carbs back into your diet, the weight comes back with a vengeance.

That's what I don't like about most "diets" they aren't realistic. I couldn't live my life without ever eating pizza. But I could happy live with allowing myself a pizza dinner once a month instead of once a week like I used to.

But do you ever want to eat the whole box of 100 Calorie Snacks? I can buy them too, but staying out of them is really hard for me.

You're certainly giving me the motivation to try, though.

Yes, there are times when I want more than one bag, there are times when I sit down and eat two. After that though I help myself to a glass of water or Crystal light that usually helps me to forget. Or you could just hand the box to one of your kids and tell them to hide it!

Well I'm not on a diet and I'm only 13 and I think it is bad for my age to be on one, but since I weigh exactly 100 pounds people wonder how I have been staying 100 pounds for a long time. Well I'm hungry and i want a snack I eat like an apple or another fruit or some vegetables. I eat small portions 5 a day and I drink milk 3 times a day and i eat healthy for breakfast and dinner becuase for lunch there is like fries and hamburgers at my school so i eat junk during that time. So i have been like in the hundreds nomore than 107 or less than 90.
