Chewing Gum: I’ve bought packs of it. It’s only 5 little calories and gives me an hour or two. And I’m also improving my bubble blowing. I’ve been teaching my son how to blow a bubble. It’s a harder skill teach than I thought it would be!

Water: Good old fashioned water. When ever I want food, I drink a glass of water first. I try to keep a pitcher of water in the fridge and make sure it’s full. I’m also planning to buy a large water bottle to take with me everywhere I go.

Easy to grab Fruits, Veggies & Nuts: I made a grocery list of these snacks and actually bought them. Now they’re at the ready for me to grab. I love carrots, snap peas, grapes, clementine oranges, whole almonds and bananas.

Dinnertime Trick: I’ve also figured out a way to lower my portions at dinner. Before I set the food on the table, I take out enough for lunch the next day. If I do this first, then I won’t over eat at dinner. It’s been working great, yay!
