The Blonde Diaries

So I’m really trying to be successful this time around on Weight Watchers. I actually went to the meetings for about three months last fall but I just was not ready to make a change. I thought having to go and weight in front of a group of people would hold me accountable but it did not. I think the reasoning was because I didn’t have a relationship or connection with any of these people. This time around I am having Mike hold me accountable and a few fellow posters both here in my blog and also on one of my message boards. So far it has been working. I hate the idea of telling these “friends” that I cheated or did poorly with my eating habits. My willpower has been amazing so far. One other thing that has helped are these healthy tips I’ve been finding and posting. I actually used this tip yesterday and it totally worked. Staring at the candy wrapper all day long kept me away from the candy jar at work. It was just a small 3 Musketeer bar (the mini size) but it was enough to keep me from having a second or third piece. If the candy jar is your weakness see if this tip will help you.

A study at Cornell University found that people who saved their candy wrappers on their desk eat about 1/2 as many candies over the course of a few hours vs. people who throw them immediately into the trash.

Visually seeing what you have eaten makes you double think picking up another piece.

To avoid bugs don’t forget to throw those wrappers away when you walk out the door to go home for the day
