FMM - Weight Loss Tips

Pardon me while I have a WTF moment.....I was looking at my blog stats and last Thursday I had 151 hits! 

including....
63 hits from some celebrity gossip site that I never heard of, even if I did read that stuff!
52 hits from googlecorrection.com
36 hits from justforlaughsgags.tv

and someone found my blog by searching for "little girls in ballerina outfits".  O_o .  I should change my profile to a pic of me carrying a large firearm. 

Anyway... now that I'm seriously disturbed.....let's do something fun!!

FMM: Weight Loss Tips
These are just things that I do personally that help in my weight loss journey.  There are gazillions of  tips out there, but these work for me!

*If I think I'm hungry, I either chew gum or drink some water.  The chewing gum thing works when I'm at work, since I occasionally get the boredom munchies.  Or I'm confusing being thirsty with hunger.  Either one prevents me from stuffing my face needlessly.

*Watch out for trigger foods.  Mine is cereal.  I can nom on 2 or 3 bowls at a sitting, especially Life Cereal. 

*Look for recipes you can make healthier.  Most of the time, the rest of the family is OK with it, but  I still can't fool them into thinking steamed cauliflower is actually mashed potatoes, tho. 

*I set the alarm on my phone to go off 3x a day as a reminder to track.  Even over the weekend.  And I put a sticker on the calendar for every day that I track 100%.  It makes me happy to look over & see all those little stars in a row.

*I try to stop eating before my plate is empty.  But if we're sitting at the table chatting as a family, I find myself picking at what I left.  So I feed it to the dog, having him do tricks & stuff.  There's a reason his nickname is Hoover!

*Consider exercise time as "me" time.  This is a tough one for me, since I'd rather goof off at the computer or have my nose in a book in my free time!
