ONE MORE THING...

Yesterday afternoon I was walking home from the grocery store and remembered one more thing or two that I learned from Feelin' Fine (read previous post) that I wanted to write down. These all have to do with my sweet tooth...

8) Alternatives. Replacing a treat like ice cream with a healthier option like a light, whipped yogurt seemed to work and was much better for calorie control.

9) Less is Less. Believe it or not, if I went a good while without eating a certain treat, after that while, I really didn't WANT it anymore or hardly even that much of it. It was much easier to pass or just be happy with a single serving. Sugar really does make you think you can never have enough, where as if you eat less, you crave less. (After the first week of torture, of course).

I was thinking I wawnted to do feeling fine again- but with my own criteria- #1- calorie reduction- #2- keep my house clean #3- keep my car clean #4- get up early #4- temple attendance #5- scripture reading- but only 30 minutes. What do you say? Want to join my club?
