[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, I know it is not rocket science.  I guess I just wonder what those of you who REALLY enjoy food/drink do.  I mean, if my first thought of a "reward" for losing the ten lbs is a fancy dinner out . . . well, I suppose that is a bit counterproductive! (Before anyone says "clothes" . . . once you get the clothes you need a fancy place to wear 'em!)  I like the skipping meals idea . . . might need to give that one a shot.  As it is, I'm pretty good during the week (I'd guess somewhere between 1500-2000 calories a day, which I tend to drop weight at b/c of all the exercise I get).  But then the weekend rolls around . . . and it is blowout Friday and Sat nights (my husband is a glutton too!  Easier, though, for a 6.2 guy to maintain/stay slim).

I guess I need to find a replacement highlight-of-the-day for meals (in particular dinner).      [/quote]

I do love food, and I'm doing pretty well at maintaining a healthy weight (5'5", 125-127 lbs). I eat one small treat every day.  Might be one of those salted caramel squares from Starbucks or a really good chocolate truffle.  The rest of the day I eat whole grains, fruits, veggies, yogurt, and usually no alcohol.  this seems to be working okay for me.  When I go out, which is less than once a week, I usually clean my plate.  Otherwise, I keep my portion size small, like half of what I would serve DH.  [/quote]
