The better way to think of that is that you’d like to lose some weight in 2008. In making little improvements in your life for 2008, you may find the following ideas are helpful.
1. Instead of eating the whole dinner yourself, share it. If you are eating alone, save half for another meal.
2. Instead of eating your dinner on a large dinner plate, substitute with a salad plate. Want second helpings? You still will not have overeaten if you go back for a little more food.
