I guess I can start. I have found especially in this past week I have done better with my low carbs and higher protien by having several meals through out the day. I hate to call them "meals" but more snacks. By journaling things too I find I have made an effort to behave. My busier days when I do not eat my snacks I feel hungrier and have trouble controlling the urge to splurge. Having the proper "tools" in the house is so important too. I found this week I made JELLO. Not for the kids but for me. The sugar-free ones, and some Cool Whip Free for the top......yummy! Only 25 calories for that snack and no carbs. Welches Ice Pops are great too only 25 calories. A great summer treat. Also after my last shopping trip I took Chicken Cutlets, and rewrapped the breasts individually.
Well that was some of my ideas this week. Any one else find something that works well for them?

I still depend heavily on my George Foreman grill. Last night it was grilled chicken with canned beets and some heavenly melon. It was lovely, but I still found myself craving carbs after that. So I topped it off with some toast. Doesn't seem like a meal to me without a hunk of bread in it. On the other hand, I've been able to cut out the rice lately...no time to cook it...LoL.
Sugar is the real bad-guy for me. If it's sweet, I'll eat it. And way too much of it. What I need is someone to go grocery shopping with me and slip all the sweet stuff back on the shelves when I'm not looking.

PS: I think we all have the sweet tooth, its just control. Sometimes you just need it.

My sweet tooth is out of control and I'm trying to get better. It's a rough road for me. Especially when my dad keeps bringing what we call "Grandma Rolls" around. She makes the best cinnamon rolls in the world!
