Hints to help you be the weight you want to be

1. Socialize with friends at places where you do not eat. Walk in the park or window shop.
2. Never go food shopping hungry.
3. Slow down! Always eat sitting down, actively savoring every bite as you chew.
4. Designate a specific place to eat at home or at work. This will help you break the habit of eating on the run.
5. Never eat in front of the television, at the movies, or as a spectator watching sports.
6. Eat only when you are hungry!
7. Cut your food into small pieces; take small bites; chew each bite at least ten times.
8. If you are served a large portion in a restaurant, simply decide immediately to eat only half.
9. Order appetizers as main courses.
10. Try to eat slower than everyone else.
11. Taste your food! Don't add extra salt!
12. Fill salt shakers with other seasonings.
13. When eating in restaurants, always specify that any sauces, sour cream, butter, maragine, and salad dressings be served "on the side".
14. Try salads without dressing- or with lemon or balsamic vinegar.
15. Always keep Happy Hunger Helpers nearby and ready for snack attacks.
16. Fry in non-stick pans with low-calorie, non-fat cooking spray instead of butter or oil.
