Some tips...to myself...and maybe they can help you to..

When eating don't save the best part for last but eat it first. This way you have nothing to look forward to at the end of the meal so you stop eating when your satisfied and dont keep going just because the best is yet to come.

Portion everything out!

Make little east to grab portioned snacks!

When deciding how big the portion should be when it comes to crackers and chips etc. look at the serviing size on the box if the serving size is 6 crackers then only eat six crackers you can always have more at another snack time so 6 may not sound like many but it may be just enough to curb your appetite...and this way you don't over do it as you usually do!

I found the following in a magazine....
Skip all soda
Eat breakfast even if your not hungry
Use smaller plates and glasses-this really works well for me
Banish trigger foods from your home
Swap lowfat/sugar free foods for the ones you crave
Rate your hunger before deciding to eat
Dine out less often
Start your meal with soup, salad, or fruit
Eat meals with no distractions

Some things I tell say to myself...you may think I'm crazy after reading them...
Nothing is worth staying fat for! Especially not food!
Nothing tastes as good as thin feels!
No good thing happens over night!
Pain is weakness leaving the body!
Do you really want to be fat!
Does your family deserve to have to deal with you being fat!
Doesn't your husband deserve better!
Don't I deserve better!
How important is it to you to have a healty pregnancy and to be able to see your kids grow up and to run around and play with them
Get off you butt every day and work out!
What are you gaining by eating unhealthy foods
Every bit Counts
YOU CAN DO IT! YOU ARE STRONG ENOUGH FOR THIS! AND YOU WILL COME OUT EVEN STRONGER ONCE YOU SUCCEED AT THIS THING YOU HAVE STRUGGLE WITH YOUR WHOLE LIFE!!!!
