These are all great tips. For me the most useful was the Food Journal. It gave me a real insight into what I was eating and why. Allowing me to plan out my meals, and find healthy snacking alternatives.

Anonymous Disappearing Girl,
Great job! The 17 lbs is great, but the 10 inches are really impressive. Keep up the great work.
Great point! Food Journals are the most effective and cheapest weight loss tools available.
I thought the idea of eating “around a craving” was extremely insightful. Even though I’ve come pretty far on my weight loss journey I know I still have absurd days where I probably have a 1k calorie surplus because I was craving something that I didn’t buy at the store for fear of temptation. Now I think that even if I buy ice cream or something similar, I should trust my ability to control portions. If I can stretch out a huge bag of tortilla chips and a jar of salsa con queso over the course of weeks, I definitely can learn to portion out sweeter treats. I’ve also found that chewing gum is a great substitute too.
Mark,
That works if you have the will power. I don’t. I agree with giving in to the craving. I will give in a little and throw the rest out. If I leave it in my home, I’ll likely give in to my craving again and again.
