When you make a meal at home make extra so you'll have some to take for work. <br />-SNACKS-almonds, fruit, yogurt, laughing cow cheese, wheat crackers. These really keep me satiated and keeps me from eating candy or a cookie when i'm hungry.<br />-sweets-i give myself 1 or 2 squares of dark chocolate for my sweet tooth, and i end up savoring it more.<br />-dessert-i measure out a 1/2 cup (or serving size) of fro yo or light icecream and put it in a tiny bowl and this honestly satisfies the dessert craving.Calvin8https://www.blogger.com/profile/10247208177511721442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1485835481754329509.post-7213231855968310322010-09-22T20:51:27.090-04:002010-09-22T20:51:27.090-04:00These are great rules, Kristen....

Even though your portion control seems to be a given because of your surgery, it can be so easy to deny yourself something you really crave, and end up eating too much of it at a later time because of the deprivation. With me, it's ice cream and cookies.... I'm such a sucker for sweets.... make a rule to limit yourself certain things you really enjoy, and make them part of your routines, but in moderation (like one cookie after dinner)... that way you're not being deprived, and you don't binge on them later. I hope that makes sense, and helps!Mindynoreply@blogger.com
