[QUOTE="lovinglife, post: 174335, member: 22428"] all of the above are good tips - other things I did/do first rule I introduced was everything and I mean EVERYTHING! even my 2 oatcakes before bed or if I have a handful of nuts - must be eaten at the table set with a plate glass of water and napkin - this stops you nibbling out of the fridge and cupboards and makes you aware of everything you are eating, it also helps you think about if you really want to eat it. A nice side effect (because this rules applies to all the family!) is we now sit down together when we eat and meal times have become more about the social aspect rather than feeding our faces! :lol: Gillian Mckeith in my mind is a bit of a nutter but I learnt one thing from her - look at each mouthful before you put it in your mouth and appreciate what you are eating - this also slows you down if you tend to eat fast so your brain gets the correct signals about being full. Something I did at the start but don't do so much now - I would have a small salad starter about 10 minutes before my main meal - you feel fuller sooner and it may help you not to over eat [/QUOTE]
