[quote=Anonymous]A few things that have helped me reform my eating habits and lose a few pounds recently are not having as many snacks in the house (for me, chips and cheeze-its and some desserts), eating protein for breakfast (cottage cheese or yogurt with fruit for me, and a good amount of 4% cottage cheese and yogurt not the 0 or 2),  and big salads for lunch with things that keep me full (for me that is volume + some combination of chick peas, beans, cheeses, dressings, and I aim for a 450-600 calorie salad). I used to not take lunch to work and when I left around 3 I had eaten snacks but was still hungry so I got home and ate lunch close to dinner or many many snacks. Taking a big salad really helps me manage not snacking or to have a small reasonable snack.

If I get hungry between meals I try to go for a small bowl of cottage cheese, string cheese, an apple or fruit, or rice crackers.

I try to limit drinks with calories and drink mainly water, seltzer, spindrift, tea, coffee with only milk, and sometimes a glass of wine or cranberry or grapefruit juice (often diluted own seltzer).

I am not huge on dessert so moderation works for me, but I also have a few go-to 150 calorie dessert options so that if I "want a little something" but it isn't huge craving level, I can do that.

I feel like I am satisfied and eat what I want, but I don't crave a lot of unhealthy. I am not afraid of fast food (I actually like the kale salad and 5 piece nuggets from CFA, or a bean and guac salad from Chipotle), and eating this way makes me feel like when I do splurge it's accounted for.
