Why Aren't You Losing Weight? #4

Not Counting Every Bite Adds Up!

A few potato chips while you open the mail. A cookie or two while you help the kids with their homework, or snacking while reading the paper. When we snack, we tend to be standing up or have our attention focused on another task. This can lead to thinking the calories "don't count". Because we are not as aware of them. Unfortunately, they do.

Solution: Set ground rules, such as "I won't eat in the car or while I watch television." Always, keep track of everything you eat throughout the day. Knowing you will have to write it down will make you think twice about having that one bite.
