I also use a smaller plate so it looks like I am serving myself more than I really am. The other trick is to focus on the healthy stuff that you like to eat.

I love sweets. In diets past, I’ve tried to cut out the sweets but that never works. I’m on WW now and I concentrate on getting the healthier foods in (fruits, fiber, lean protein and veggies) and limiting the less-healthy choices. I’ve found lots of weight watchers substitutes for foods that I really love, and the way the WW stuff is packaged, I’m much better at portion control (WW chocolate chip cookies and fudgesicles are staples in my house).
It is true that the better we eat, the better our workouts, and for me, the more I work out, the more conscious I am of my food. Running is hard work…I’m not going to waste it by eating the wrong things afterward…well, most of the time.
