The Little Things Add Up 08/26/2010
There's an old Scottish saying, "Every little makes a muckle", which basically means that the little things add up. It is of course referring to money, but we could certainly apply this to weight gain or loss. All those little extras DO add up! Think about 'saving' whenever you're tempted to eat an extra cookie, use another tablespoon of oil, salad dressing, peanut butter, or to break another tiny piece of chocolate off the bar. Start by eating small, frequent meals. Remind yourself that you'll be eating again in a few hours, so you truly don't need the extras at that one sitting. Implementing this strategy is a sure way to achieve your goals and continue to keep your energy levels up throughout the day.
