My Hunger Game... Portion Control

So when you move around the holidays, a few days of eating crap (and lots of it) becomes about a month. Lots of Chinese take out, pizza, and David's ridiculously awesome cooking skills have stretched even my yoga pants a bit. 

Am I about to tell you about this awesome new diet I'm going to try? Um, NO. In my opinion, diets don't work. At all. I don't care what diet it is. You need will power. Will power = change. That's it, folks. 

What I AM going to practice is strict portion control. What is helping me? Healthy Choice. 

Yeah, yeah, yeah... Say all you want about frozen meals. They aren't really that healthy. We've all heard... BUT the meals really DO help with portion control. So until I can call myself a master, I'm using this method. BONUS, most grocery stores always have sales for healthy choice products. I can get them for $2 each right now with my bonus card. Eventually, I want to cook all natural organic small meals myself and stay away from anything in a box, but we have to start somewhere. 

THIS I can do. I find them to be yummy in my tummy. I'm not watching my carbs, fat (even though almost all of them are low in fat anyway), sodium, etc. I will be able to control my calorie intake by knowing exactly what I'm putting into my body for lunch and dinner. Most of the meals contain no preservatives. 

For breakfast, I'm sticking to my egg white omelettes with basil and spinach and a half of a grapefruit OR my oatmeal bars with half of a grapefruit. Easy breezy and delicious!

For snacks, I'm sticking to fruits, veggies or 100 calorie packs. AGAIN, I know they are not always the healthiest option, but I'm talking about portions. Once you eat a little 100 calorie pack snack, you're done. 

I'm ready to get back to this...
