It’s all about portion control
There was a time when we could eat anything we wanted and not gain an ounce. And then it got a little harder, but bringing up kids burned calories pretty quickly. Well, now we don’t have little kids to run after anylonger and our metabolism is slowing down. One of the best ways to keep our weight in check is to practice portion control and adding exercise to our day. It’s really not that big a deal if you are serious about it. And there is no excuse about having no time. I just left the computer, made the bed and did fifty sit-ups. Lunch which is a half hour away will be a sandwich with lots of veggies on the side and a yogurt. It’s all about filling up with things that are good for you, so when you want to sneak in something decadent, you can!
At the moment, we have a lemon meringue pie sitting in the fridge and I plan to have some! It’s all about portion control.

You’re right, and this is something I am working on right now. Just eating less.

And I’m working on substituting more veggies into my diet. Why can’t they come up with a vegetable that tastes like chocolate??
