I can't tell you how many times growing up I asked my mom right after a meal "what's for dinner tomorrow?" I could not satisfy my craving for food. But food was a comfort for us. If we had a good day we celebrated by eating. Bad day-we ate. Blah day-we ate.
What I am trying to instill in my boys early on in life is to eat when hungry. We are becoming more strict about eating snacks while watching television or driving in the car. Too many times we are like automatons dipping our hands into a snack bag and continuing to eat until whatever it is, is gone.
My wife uses a measuring cup when she pours cereal in the morning. I measured my bag dump and I had three servings!
If you want to take control of your life focus on portion control. Read the box, measure out or count out one serving. Eat that and wait for a while. If you're still hungry....measure out a half serving and eat that.
Next up...What is the size of your dinner plate and what is it doing to your waistline?
