Weight Loss and Great Tips - the last part!

Wait out those cravings
Right now, I am craving macaroni and cheese. Yikes. This will do nothing for my weight loss efforts. Use this plan when you are fighting a huge craving:
- immediately drink a glass of water (9 times out of 10, you are just thirsty) and then
- brush your teeth
You simply do not want to put food in your mouth after you have brushed your teeth. Everything tastes awful after tooth paste. This is a magificent weight loss tool!

If you can wait out a craving, you will typically stop thinking about that food and be back on your weight loss focus.


Manage your stress
Stress causes us to do lots of different things - lash out at the postman, eat a pile of chips or donuts! Keep to your weight loss plan by helping to manage your stress. Get a massage or manicure, watch stupid TV or read a book. Control your stress and manage your weight.


Recognize your small successes
Allow yourself a reward after you reach a small goal. Patting yourself on the back can be the best weight loss plan of all. You are doing a great job and you should recognize it. Don't be so hard on yourself. It is a lot of little successes that lead to the big ones.

Happy weight loss success!
