I read that telling yourself you'll eat it "later" helps to fight cravings, and that has really worked for me. I've also stopped mindlessly eating. I buy single serving snack foods, rather than the family size bag, which is a godsend for portion control. (I have found that I can ignore the junk food in the pantry, but if there's none in the house, I go crazy. So, I keep a few single-serve packs of my favorites.) If there's one rule I live by, it's "If you bite, you write." I write down everything I eat, no matter how little. I had been on weight watchers dot com, but I've since moved to a free site, and have been very happy with it.</P> <P> </P> <P> </P> Sat, 19 May 2012 23:40:28 GMT ~Lucky Lu~ 2012-05-19T23:40:28Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Fashion/O-T-Weight-Loss-and-Shopping-Your-Closet-vs-Shopping-the-Stores/m-p/205157#M15149 <BLOCKQUOTE><SPAN class="quote_author">On 5/19/2012 <STRONG>magicmoodz</STRONG> said:</SPAN> <P><STRONG>Lucky Lu</STRONG> ~ Congratulations on your weight loss!
